A winning entry for Halifax’s campaign to promote LGBT campaigns has been chosen.
The entry (left) was submitted by a trans* female Halifax student who wishes to remain anonymous. She won £20, as well as having her poster displayed around campus.
The poster advertises Halifax’s latest welfare campaign ‘Promosexual’ which aims to raise awareness of LGBTQ rights on campus.
Entries were open to all University students and moderated by Halifax JCRC and the YUSU LGBTQ committee to pick the best entry that embodied the campaign and was eye catching to students.
Halifax LGBTQ convener Jake Chadwick told Vision: “We chose this entry because it addresses an issue causing problems across the LGBTQ spectrum.
“Gender policing is the subtle, or overt, undermining of individuals whose identities transgress the gender binary. Whether it’s aggression directed at so-called ‘femme’ men or ‘butch’ women, it can be either overt or subtle.”
