Mangfoldige homoer og BLUS

Den 1. til 3. maj 2009 afholdt Lambda, en forening i Odense for bøsser og lesbiske, et tredages arrangement. Arrangementet hed Mangfoldig Homo og havde til hensigt at vise omverden, hvor mangfoldig en skare, homoseksuelle er. Fredag blev der fejret Homoernes Kampdag, set stand-up show med Mette Frobenius og spillet bingo med de lokale drag queens. Resten af weekenden bød på forskellige aktiviteter for alle fra de helt små regnbue børn til de kunst interesserede.

Lambda er en organisation som har eksisteret siden 1993. Du kan læse mere om dem på www.lambda.dk. Desuden holder Lambda en stor fest den første lørdag i hver måned.

On Tuesday 22 September we will be welcoming and introducing new students to BLUS. The board of BLUS will be presenting the organization and the different activities that we offer to our members. We will also spend some time on making sure that both old and new members can get to know one another in a fun and informal fashion. Finally, there will be an exciting challenge for all participants.

The Intro night is both for future, current and past members. We encourage all members wishing to renew their membership to show up as well. The venue is as always Studenterhuset and we start at 19 (Facebook event).

It is with sadness that we announce that Jeroen Roosen and Michael Vad have decided to resign from the BLUS board effective immediately, as they are both leaving the country. As a consequence, Bo Refsgaard Pedersen has been asked and has accepted to step up from deputy status to full board member. We wish both Jeroen and Michael the best of luck and welcome Bo (back) on the board!
