World Aids Day- December 1st. Film Showing- 'Philadelphia'
This evening the society heads off to the ice rink for a night of ice skating. Only those who are confirmed to be on the list for the bus are able to go, due to space constraints.
Next Monday, December 1st, is World Aids Day. Millions of people around the world are still affected by the scourge of HIV/AIDS, with the vast majority of infections occuring in the developing world. AIDS is destroying whole communities, and reducing life expectancy in many African nations to shockingly low levels.
On Monday, the UCC LGBT Society is drawing attention the plight of AIDS sufferers worlwide by organising a stand in the Boole Basement from 10am-4pm. We’ll be selling red ribbons for €2 each, and donating the money we raise to charity. Please come and support this worthy cause.
On Monday evening at 7pm in room 2.12 on the second floor of the O’Rahily Building we’ll be showing the film Philadelphia. This is one of the classic movies from the 90s, that earned Tom Hanks an oscar for his portrayal of a lawyer fired for being a gay man with HIV/AIDS. Denzel Washington also stars. This is a must-see film, and we look forward to seeing society members and non-members alike at the film showing.
