This is an opportunity to write about any part of your LGBTQ+ experience, tell your story so we can share your perspective with others.

Some ideas: what moments have shaped you as a person? What you have struggled with? How people have supported you? Positive or difficult moments as part the LGBTQ+ community.

Please use any writing style that you prefer. You will be limited to 4000 characters maximum (650-800 words approx).

All submissions will be published anonymously, printed to hand out and may be used on social media and the BCUSU website.

We will not identify your name, date of birth, email, or student number. Please be aware, a small number of BCUSU staff will be able to see who submitted. We will be adding trigger warnings where needed.
