Bristol Reclaim the Night
Bristol Reclaim the Night will be taking place on the evening of Friday 26th Feb
After the phenomenal success of last year's Reclaim the Night which brought together over 500 marchers, Bristol Feminist Network are urging the women and men of Bristol to gather once more and protest against the continued horror of sexual violence.
Reclaim the Night is an international campaign against sexual violence. The march is a public reminder that no one should have to live in the shadow of violence and that we all have the equal right to walk freely through the city streets.

Consultation on the BBC's Portrayal of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Audiences
Do you have views on how the BBC portrays lesbian, gay and bisexual people?
The BBC is currently taking an in-depth look at how its services reflect the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people as part of both its wider Diversity Strategy and its responsibilities under the Charter to reflect the diversity of the nation.
Your views will inform a Working Group of programme makers, commissioners and executives from across the BBC who will make recommendations to the BBC's Diversity Board, chaired by Mark Thompson, on future editorial policy and practice in this area.
The closing date for this consultation is 2 April.

Uganda's proposed anti gay law - petition
Uganda’s parliament is preparing to pass a brutal new law that would punish gay people with prison -- even death.
Initial international criticism drove the President to call for a review. But after a well-funded and vicious lobbying effort by extremists, the bill looks set to be passed -- threatening widespread persecution and bloodshed.
Opposition to the bill is rising, including from the Anglican church. Ugandan gay rights advocate Frank Mugisha writes, "This law will put us in serious danger. Please, sign the petition and tell others to stand with us – if there’s a huge global response, our government will see that Uganda will be internationally isolated by the proposed law, and strike it down."
With the decision expected in days, only an irresistible wave of worldwide pressure will be enough to save Frank's life and many others. Let’s build a huge petition to stop the gay death law.
