Loving Men is a once-a-year adventure for gay
and bisexual men who want to develop more intimacy
in friendships and relationships, with Dennis L.
Carney, Alfred Hurst and Tim Foskett. We’ll spend a
week in a supportive and fun-loving community, using
a range of activities to build deeper relationships
with other men. There’ll be many opportunities to
make connections, stretch your comfort zone and gain
personally from the respect, care and love of other
men.
What people have said about Loving Men weeks
“Excellent facilitation – warm, welcoming,
encouraging, professional, knowledgeable and
responsive.”
"Loving Men gave me a huge boost of rocket fuel,
and the confidence to make changes in my life that I
have been moving towards for ages."
“I still use the practical techniques we learned,
like telling someone how you feel without hurting them.”
“The venue is excellent – the best place, and the
community members are fantastic.”
“The contribution of each man was so valuable – the
variety of views and feelings, turning the
pre-conceived on its head.”

Subverting What? Perversion, Transgression &
Normalisation In Queer Theory & Psychoanalysis - 23
Feb and 2 March This two-day intensive symposium
is devoted to looking at four concepts as they are
used in queer theory, 'subversion', 'perversion',
'transgression' and
'normalisation', primarily through the lens of
psychoanalysis. The seminars focus on a range of
sexual acts, the categorisation of those acts and the
formation of identities based on them. In this,
these seminars will provide a valuable opportunity
to critically examine the intersections between
psychoanalysis and queer theory, and the potential
uses and drawbacks of employing psychoanalysis off
the couch.
Two Day-Long Intensive Seminars at University
College Dublin, Ireland
Friday 23 February 2007 & Friday 2 March 2007 30 Euros

From Press for Change:
"Please encourage as many UK citizens as possible to
sign this ASAP, so that
as we go into negotiations with government on the
proposed new Regulations
supposedly affording us protection when accessing
goods, services and
facilities, we can show the strong support behind
our mandate.
Everyday, we receive at least one more cry for help
from someone who ahs
been refused either a goods, service or facility
because they are trans -
many are about a refusal to fund access to health
care, or being told they
will wait 5 or more years before they will be seen
for an initial assessment
for treatment. Sometimes it will be because they
have been thrown out of a
bar or restaurant, or asked to not use the leisure
centre, or refused a
place on a course because it is 'not suitable' i.e.
they are not suitable.
It goes on and on, and we could cite so many cases
of trans people being
refused the right of access to goods, services or
facilities, especially
health care, that other people take for granted."
