From lesbians in ancient Greece, to gay love and gender fluidity in Bronze Age Iraq; from bisexuality in the Roman Empire, to transgender deities in ancient India and Pakistan; and more! Using objects from the National Museum Wales collection, we will embark on a journey as old as humanity itself to explore gender and sexuality in the ancient world.

The event is free, no registration is required. However, I hope you can help meet the £500 donation target for Glitter Cymru.

In August, Glitter Cymru will celebrate its 5th anniversary. In the same week, I will also celebrate my birthday. I want to capture this opportunity to launch a "Flash Fundraiser" for the day.

For the event, I will be live-streaming a talk on Wednesday 18 August (the day of my birthday) at 18:00-19:00, which is titled "Love, Sex, Identities: LGBTQ+ Histories". We will look at 6 objects from Museum collections to walk on a virtual tour of sexual orientations and gender identities in the past. You will be able to watch the live-streaming directly from this JustGiving page, and on my Twitch channel at: https://www.twitch.tv/alececca88

Glitter Cymru was set up in 2016 as a monthly meet-up group for people in Wales who identify under the following two acronyms: BAME, meaning Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, and LGBT+, meaning Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans.

Glitter Cymru came about after hearing the frustrations of the BAME LGBT+ community of not feeling welcomed. Stonewall, a leading LGBT equality charity, found 51% of BAME LGBT people had faced discrimination or poor treatment from the wider LGBT+ community. This issue was found to be greater for Black LGBT+ people where the figure rises to 61%.

Please help us to meet our target of £500! Donate and share!

Many thanks and best wishes,

Alessandro
