  3. Faith, Feminism, and LGBTQ women – is anyone listening?

    18 January 2011

    Wednesday 18th January 2012, 7pm.

    The Conference Room (Floor 1), YMCA, Indian Student Hostel, 41 Fitzroy Square, London, W1T 6AQ
     
    The Cutting Edge Consortium invites you to a public meeting to discuss the place of LBTQ women of faith in current campaigning against faith based homophobia and transphobia and in contemporary feminist debate. They will be discussing how the demands for equality of LBTQ women of faith challenge directly the orthodoxies of the leadership of the mainstream religions and how this challenge goes beyond identity politics. They will also discuss where issues of faith and sexuality/gender identity sit on the current feminist agenda.

    Contributors at the meeting will include Naomi Phillips from The British Humanist Association, Chitra Nagarajan from Southall Black Sisters/Go Feminist!, Rabbi Judith Rosen-Berry from BKY/Liberal Judaism, Christina Beardsley from Sibyls & Changing Attitude & Tamsila Taquir from The Safra Project.
     
    Everyone who identifies as female is welcome at this event.
