This was attended by about 70% of our normal LGBT Notts. County Council Staff group people and came up with a few proposals for motions at the LGBT Delegates conference in Glasgow. These were:
- Campaign to alter the Blood Transfusion Service Policy to stop it excluding LGBT people
- Campaign to stop homophobic bullying in schools
- Campaign to allow retired members of UNISON to still contribute
I am hoping that these can be edited up into the correct format and taken by the the nominees to the conference. As there were more men than allowed under union rules, we will need to undertake a selection procedure for those wishing to go.
I also attended a very useful conference on homophobia in Education given by Stonewall in London and have further information on this for anyone interested.
