Today is the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). Two things I want to emphasise: 1. There’s a huge amount of it going around, which means the fight is vital; and 2. There’s also a huge amount of queer joy and dynamism and passion. Nothing is hopeless. 💜

The university campus is a contested space - not merely a space for the ‘battle’ of ideas, but a physical space of contention. For a history of the university as this contested space in the British context, may I suggest this book? www.academia.edu/44497710/No_...
