Hey Sophia,
You know in Coffee Hour a couple of weeks ago James was talking about gender and sexuality on forms? Well I'm just looking at the LUU Annual Survey thing. The third question is Gender? 'Male' or 'Female', and 10. What is your sexual orientation? a)Heterosexual b)Homosexual c)Transsexual d)Bi-sexual e)Not Sure f)Prefer not to say.

This links to your student ID and are mandatory questions. I'm sure I don't need to point out to you all the things that are wrong with them and I actually feel a bit offended by question 10. So just thought I'd provide you with an example for your motion, if you've not finished it yet.

Yeah I agree, it also lists transsexual as a sexuality when it isn't, which just smacks of ignorance.

hey hey, thanx for bringing that to my attention! it is pretty shocking that the union are so ignorant towards LGBT terminology. we complain about the student paper getting it wrong but that survey is straight from the horses mouth and i would imagine it would have a larger outreach.

The motion hasn't been written yet but i will certainly be using that examples, thanks babe xxx
