GE2020-35
The editor and photographer of Ourself Zine (@ourself.zine) will be joined by community sex educator, Justin Chu to reflect on LGBTQ+ rights activism at HKU. Join us in mapping out ways of building solidarity within the community as we discuss excerpts from the zine and look at the specific context of LGBTQ-friendly spaces on campus.
Both the zine and this event value the intersection between queer and marginalised racial/ethnic identities. As a starting point, we would recommend that you to read B&E’s story from the zine. E writes in the interview, “I find it a comfort that I don’t have to explain things to B (their friend) whether it’s my sexuality, gender, certain jargon that straight people won’t understand, or really just what it’s like to be a non-cishet non-local person in a foreign place. There’s an unspoken understanding between us that I find beautiful.” The full story will be made available to you in a PDF after registration.
Ourself Zine 編委團隊（@ourself.zine）將聯同性教育倡議者朱顥廷討論港大LGBTQ+平權運動的現況，屆時將分享小誌中的選段和對校園性/別友善空間的觀察，藉此凝聚LGBTQ+社群的聲音。
小誌的編採方向和是次活動都十分注重邊緣性/別身分和種族之間的交織性（intersectionality）。已報名的參加者會在活動前收到小誌中B&E的故事節錄，鼓勵各位出席活動前閱讀。E在訪問中如是說：「同其他朋友比較，我同B之間好多時唔駛講出聲都會明白對方。我覺得咁樣相處好輕鬆。佢會明白我嘅性別、性取向、一啲直人聽唔明嘅術語，仲有我作為一個非本地、非順性別、非異性戀嘅人身處異地嘅處境。好多嘢我哋都唔駛特登同對方解釋，呢點真係好難得。」
