The Underground, LSE, Houghton Street 

It's that time of the month again... Mind The Gap is back and this time it's
a ULU special. That means cheap drinks and even cheaper thrills 

This month will be electric for our ELECTRO party so dig out your best
fluoro gear and glow sticks - Brighter the better... 

We'll be staying open til 12 - so I'm afraid we're going to have to charge
£2 on the door to cover our security costs - but you know we're worth it :-)

News - NUS LGBT CAMPAIGN UPDATE!

Love without Borders 

NUS LGBT 's Love without Borders campaign kicked off last week with an
emergency demonstration to protest the harsh punishments inflicted on two
young Saudi Arabian men accused of 'sodomy'. After being found guilty the
pair were subjected to 700 lashes each as punishment. Around 50 students and
LGBT campaigners gathered outside the Saudi Arabian Embassy in London to
call for justice for LGBT citizens in the country. NUS LGBT Officers Claire
Anderson and Scott Cuthbertson , who called the demonstration, handed a
letter to the ambassador asking for full equal rights for LGBT Saudi
citizens. Thank you to all of you who showed up at such short notice,
especially those who travelled from outside of London especially to attend.
For more information and pictures of the day go to: www.Officeronline.co.uk/
LGBT . 

We are currently working at on developing resources for LGBT groups to
campaign on international LGBT rights. These will be launched at the end of
November.
