OPINION: We’ve come a long way baby?

 

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

 

I don’t know anyone that failed to notice that when most of the starry-eyed new group of Freshers entered the Bazaar in the union this year, their first port of call was not the LGBT stall. People swarmed like daisies around the Amnesty and soccer groups and God help them, even the Dragonslayers seemed to reel in a few loose ends. Yet, you would be forgiven for believing that over at the “rainbow-tastic” stall they were giving out free goody bags full of anthrax. So why has the LGBT seemingly died a sudden death and what are the reasons behind this?
