Pride club runs on Thursdays, at 4:30 and if you ever wish to join, please email Mr Streeting, Ms White or Ms Shah Farrelly! We are here to support every sexual orientation or gender, even if you are just an ally (someone who supports the LGBTQ+ community). Lister is already a very supportive school, but we have organised this club to make it even better. I get it that it is difficult to come out as part of this community, but whether bisexual, lesbian, gay, transgender or other, we will be here to support no matter what. At Lister, the community is part of a large range of genders and sexual orientations and all of them are supported. We, as a school community, will always support one another. We really dislike homophobia and transphobia – it is really wrong. If people think dating the same gender or changing the gender you got given at birth is unusual and weird, we ask you to ignore that and be tolerant of others. Your sexual orientation, gender or preferred name and pronouns shouldn’t be a problem to anyone, it just depends on who you fall in love with. Now let us introduce a poem that one of our students wrote to celebrate Pride Society: Why hate someone, Because they love someone? It isn’t properly fair. LGBTQ rights? Absolutely! Why hate someone, Because of their gender? Again, It isn’t their fault. Gender equality? Obviously. Why hate someone, Because of their pronouns? It’s their choice, On what they want to be called. Certain pronouns? Yes! Of course! Trans and LGBTQ rights? Yes, it is a problem. How come they get a month, And the soldiers get two minutes? People are always saying this, I know it might be true, But it isn’t really nice to say. School Blog ← Muslim Lives Matter Leave a Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.
