Racism





It is great to see this campaign from ACON. In previous postings on this blog we have talked about the links between racism and sexual health. I think its fantastic to see something happening in the GLBTIQ community.




Have a look below at thier blurb!!

'Many of us have been made to feel inferior because of our sexuality. Racism is as hurtful and offensive as homophobia and many of our brothers and sisters experience racism from within our own community!

Some examples of racism include:
· Making jokes centred on someone’s race.
· Making assumptions based on race.
· Making negative comments or gestures based on race.
· Excluding people based on race.

The ‘Would You Wear it?’ campaign asks us to challenge our own and others’ ideas about race so we can all enjoy a community where everyone is accepted and respected.

Some of the ways you can support our diversity and contribute to making our community strong include:

Check In – Do you pre-judge others?

Stand Up – Stand up against racism when it’s safe to do so.
