Overview

This society is for all who self-define as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual, unsure or curious, as well as all their friends too! Runner up in the 2009 National Union of Students LGBT Awards for the Best Higher Education LGBT Society, the University of Essex LGBT is one of the most active, friendliest and most accepting societies in the country. You will be accepted for who you are and whatever your circumstances may be.

This year the society has new and exciting plans that will guarantee a great time for all. Last term included a "Freshers' Pick 'n' Mix"; like we have never seen before, lasting throughout October! And the fun didn't stop there; the committee planned for many more events to last until the end of the year, including trips, gay nights on campus, campaigns and much much more! In the spring term we have loads more to offer!! Check out the news section for more info...
