LGBT

LGBT is an abbreviation referring collectively to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Coming to college is a daunting and intimidating experience. It can be even more difficult and isolating if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or have just recently started to question your sexuality.

Regardless how you feel about yourself and the people around you, coming ‘out’ and being ‘out’ can sometimes be a nerve wrecking time.

Pink Training is an event run by the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) every year for LGBT Students from all over Ireland. It is held in a different city every year, and has always been hugely successful. It is a weekend consisting of coming-out workshops, sexual health workshops, queer theory talks, transgender forums, sexual empowerment workshops, bisexual open spaces, talks by guests speakers, debates, talks on LGBT Mental Health etc, as well as a night out or two.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet other LGBT people from all over, and to discuss any of the issues that may be affecting you.
