Proud to support Manchester Pride
17 Aug 2011
The University of Manchester is supporting this year’s Manchester Pride celebrations through a number of activities organised by the University’s LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Staff Network group.
The University will have a stand at the Whitworth Street entrance to the Sackville Street Building during the Pride Parade on Saturday, 27 August. Sackville Street Building will also be flying the Rainbow Flag – the international symbol of the gay pride movement – and displaying a banner of support for the 21st Manchester Pride festival throughout the August Bank Holiday weekend.
The University is also hosting other events in and around campus in the week leading up to Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend.
The Martin Harris Centre has a number of events from 22 to 26 August. A full timetable can be seen online at:
