Our Work
The Oxford LGBTQ+ Society is the largest higher education LGBTQ+ Society in the country, and with over 3000 members, the second largest society of its kind at the university. We are a welfare society which aims to cater to all our students’ needs, whatever those may be.
The Society is run by a committee of 28 students elected every Hilary Term, led by the Executive Committee, and including a range of identity-specific reps who collectively run events for everyone under the LGBTQ+ umbrella (including those questioning their sexuality and/or gender identity).
We run a wide range of events every week including pizza nights, Bob Ross paint-alongs, drinks, pumpkin carving, talks from guest speakers, welfare brunches, etc. some of which are identity based, such as ‘Ace/Aro Tea’. Our goal is to create as many safe spaces as we can within the community. We recognise the fantastic diversity within the LGBTQ+ community and that not all experiences are homogeneous, therefore separate spaces are important for people to feel heard and accepted.
We run a weekly drinks event every Tuesday during term-time, which moves from college to college, where we provide our own drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. This is our biggest social event of the week with many attendees from all backgrounds and colleges, and is also open to non-university folk. Drinks will always have friendly committee members to talk to, a breakout space with water in a quieter environment and gender neutral toilets. We are also aim to make every event as physically accessible as possible.
All events have a strong code of conduct for discrimination and oppression, and we are always open to positive and negative feedback; please use this feedback form (anonymous, with the option to be contacted for follow up) to get in touch, or email any of us directly here.
