Queer Messages: LGBTQ Characters in Children’s Literature by B.J. Epstein
How are non-heterosexualities portrayed in children’s literature? Which non-heterosexualities are featured and why? And does all this depend on which country the texts are from? What messages do these books offer children?In this paper, I will analyse books from the United States and the United Kingdom that feature lgbtq youth and/or lgbtq adults. I will analyse how queerness is explained and/or defined in these works and how the queer characters are portrayed.

launch the first national
Rainbow Ribbon Campaign
‘LGBT people experience domestic violence too…’
That’s the message going out to the whole of the UK during February’s LGBT history month as Broken Rainbow UK launch their National Rainbow Ribbon Campaign in partnership with White Ribbon UK.
February is LGBT History Month. The Rainbow Ribbon campaign is set to coincide with February each year to get LGBT Domestic Violence out of the closet. We are counting on the support of all agencies to support this campaign hereon.
Broken Rainbow UK is encouraging individuals, agencies and organisations across the country to support the Rainbow Ribbon campaign to get the message ‘LGBT people experience domestic violence too…’ out there. You can help in a number of ways:
– Purchase Rainbow Ribbons and then promote them at your events, workplace or society groups.
– Post a Virtual Rainbow Ribbon on your organisation websites, you can also add a link to our website, or add the National Broken Rainbow LGBT DV Helpline number
– Promote it via social networking sites and get people talking about the Rainbow Ribbon.
Simply wearing the Rainbow Ribbon, or displaying it, shows you are helping to make a difference to the lives of LGBT people affected by domestic violence.
Please visit http://www.broken-rainbow.org.uk/rainbowribboncampaign.htmlto find out more and purchase your ribbons.

Women’s History Walk in Norwich on International Women’s Day.
Meet at the Edith Cavell Statue in Tombland (opposite Tombland Alley ) at 10.30 a.m. on March 8th.
I will lead the first of two walks which reveal interesting facts about women in our local history. It should take approximately an hour and a half and is circular. The whole walk would take about three hours so the second part could be later in the month if women want it.
Looking forward to seeing you there ! Heather
We’re happy to post events organised by others, and welcome your feedback on them too. If you’d like further info, please email us on wownorwich@hotmail.comJo
