Thanks to everyone who joined us for QueerSpace's 13th Birthday Party on Saturday 16th April 2011 in Belfast's LGBT Centre.

The birthday party celebrated the diversity of our members with a food fest of dishes from Asian and Indian cultures and of course some good auld Irish favourites!

We were delighted to be joined also by Maria Noble, a community activist and member of UNISON’s LGBT regional committee who led a discussion on the issues for LGBT people from Black/minority ethnic backgrounds.

We also named our Queer of the Year for 2011:

Fidelma Carolan

The lively, constructive discussion provided a number of clear action points for us to pursue to make QueerSpace a more welcoming space for LGBT people of minority ethnic backgrounds - so watch this Space!
