Where was the intimidation? I didn't see anyone make anonymous comments on social media or stick post-it notes to a door during that whole thing.
 
Incredibly juvenile behaviour too, leaving a coat and wandering out the door so you have an excuse to come back in a disrupt a lecture? That's year 7 disruptive behaviour at best.

The sexual minority Society at Goldsmiths can't name a single antisocial thing anyone from ISOC have ever done. In fact they are "nothing but charming, patient, kind, and peaceful"

yes it should be minority sexuality
if we're on that route it's not lgbtq etc it's lgbtqplus

LGBT+ community is more than people identified as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered. We also have Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allies, Pansexual, 2-Spirited and all sorts of minor sexualities.
A good friend of mine, who identifies herself as skoliosexual in LSE, does not feel like she is an L, G, B, or T, yet absolutely feels part of the community. The addition of a + symbol makes sure everyone gets included in a way that makes them feel respected just for who they are, and does not force them to try and fit into a label.
Part of our role as the LGBTQQIAAP(+2S) community is to make space for everyone.

Bloody hell. When I was at uni 15 or so years ago (not Goldsmiths or London), one of the main roles of the LGBT society was supporting those of us from religious conservative backgrounds (many of us catholic or protestant, some of us muslim, a few of us hindu or jewish) who were confused, scared, and sometimes facing abuse, homelesssness, financial troubles, and violence, because of our homophobic families. Our main campaigning activity was for the lifting of section 28 and the equalisation of consent laws, but locally our focus was often on opposing religious fundamentalism across the board (the university christian union was controlled by a particularly intolerant bunch at the time, and we supported the NUS no platform of hizb ut tahrir, a ban which was also supported by various muslim feminists I knew).

I don't understand how a LGBTQ+ society can come out in solidarity with a society that has (according to google) invited hizb ut tahrir and anti-gay speakers to campus in the past, and call for the banning of a pro-LGBT feminist. It just doesn't make sense.

contrary teenagers do this sort of thing.
 
Because they is brown so obviously more oppressed than anyone.:hmm:
Sort of double think that had a leftie tearing in into a gay irish catholic for saying bad things about the irish catholic church :facepalm:
The argument being criticsing the irish catholic church meant you were a tool of british imperilaism in ireland:hmm:.
No everybody else thought it was a bollocks arguement as well but he made it :rolleyes:

what would they rather, a world of free speech where people get offended now and then, or a world without? I don't get their argument.

What they want is to imitate the cool kids in America. They don't even know that the American "left" are a bunch of tossers who have achieved absolutely nothing, and who have nothing to teach the rest of the world in terms of tactics or strategy.
