Pride International

“Moving to a foreign country was a big step. I didnt know quite how big it would be. Having my friend visiting over here seemed like a brilliant idea, I didnt quite expect how brilliant the idea would turn out to be. Visiting London sounded like alot of fun, I didnt quite imagine how much fun it would be.

There it was, that i saw the light, or to quote my colleague “crossed to the dark side”……..

Lisa and I have been friends for over 6 years and she had had a crush on me for 5 years.” Im so sorry, we’d be perfect togther, but im not into women”, I told her not so long ago …….

Suprise! Here in England, in London, I fell in love with her!

Coming out wasn’t much of a challenge, I only got good responses in England and Germany, and now with the Norwich Pride coming up, my mum’s been knitting squares in Germany, last count 25 squares! and Lisa will be coming over to party as well. “Sandra

Drag Kings in Norwich

*Drag Kings!*

We will be meeting at The Catherine Wheel – *Tuesday 15th June 2010, 7pm*. I’m told this may be the first time such a thing as this has raised it’s head in Norwich, which is quite pleasing!

The Catherine Wheel Norwich have very kindly offered us use of their upstairs in which to meet. So far there are 6/7 people interested which is a terrific start, thank you for your early enthusiasm, let’s keep up the momentum and have a fun evening! If you can’t make that one I’ll let you all know when the next one is nearer the time. :-)

By the way, entirely up to you if you want to arrive in drag, change when you arrive, or not be dragged up at all! The first get together I anticipate may feature some chat/discussion on what we want to do, but the main thing is for everyone to relax, be comfortable, and have some fun. Any questions please feel free to email me.

All the best,

Karen

Dear all,

This is just a remember that the next gender studies reading group will meet at the Millennium Library at the Forum on 16 June at 6 pm. Please note that there will be an event in the Forum that day but the library will still be open and the group will be meeting on the 2nd floor, in the training room.
The reading is a selection from Kate Bornstein’s Gender Outlaw and I sent it as a PDF, but if you didn’t get it, let me know.
See you then!

Best wishes,
BJ
