Details

For the next Positive Life group meeting, there will be a screening of a fascinating documentary called ‘Britain’s Gay Footballers’.

The documentary, questions the still obvious lack of visibly gay footballers in Britain and explores why, in a supposedly inclusive society, so many gay sports stars are reluctant to speak about their sexual identity and are still fearful of the consequences of coming out.

Or you can watch the documentary on youtube. It is split into four parts, here’s part I:

The film will be shown downstairs in the Tom Halford room. You are still more than welcome to come for the evening and just join the others, upstairs in the café area, who prefer the mutual support and social aspect of the evening.

The film run time is 60 minutes, starting 6.30pm prompt, there will then be some dinner for all attending afterwards.

Positive East is currently undergoing some refurbishment work. The cafe area is scheduled to be completed by the 29th August. If the work is not completed by then, we will be unable to use the cafe area for the usual dinner afterwards. If this is the case, we will serve some cold buffet style food in the Tom Halford room directly after the screening.

Please contact Andre (email; andre.smith@positiveeast.org.uk) to confirm your attendance to ensure sufficient catering.
