Rainbow Mark Accreditation Last month saw the launch of the LGBT Excellence Centreâ€&#x;s Rainbow Mark - a new

logo that they display, which carries our endorsement and a free-phone helpline for you to

accreditation for businesses and organizations that want to demonstrate their commitment to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.

call when things go wrong�.

But what does it mean to the LGBT people themselves? We asked Chief Executive Officer Federico Podeschi, who said: “Businesses and organizations that sign up to our programme are showing their commitment to our community and this means that are prepared to work and demonstrate that they take LGBT equality seriously. This is reflected in the Rainbow Mark

The Rainbow Mark in fact is more than an accreditation, it gives people power as anyone can speak up about issues or problems that they might have experienced in the provision of goods, facilities, or services from the businesses and organizations that display the logo at the bottom of this page.

This offers the Excellence Centre the opportunity to work with them to resolve the issue and make sure that it does not worsen or happen again in future - really making a difference for those who matter: you!

So make sure to contact the Excellence Centre and if your favourite restaurant, shop, leisure centre does not have the Rainbow Mark, why not suggesting it to them?!

LGBT History Month - February 2010 Looking for nominations for outstanding contributions to LGBT History in Wales! - Good Luck!!

It is that time of the year again! LGBT History Month is back! This initiative celebrates the lives and achievements of the LGBT community, its diversity and that of the society as a whole. The initiative encourages everyone to host events to help raise awareness of issues faced by LGBT people with an aim to eradicate homophobia and transphobia from all walks of life.

LGBT History Month originated in the United States and was first celebrated in 1994. In the UK, it first took place in February 2005. The event came in the wake of the abolition of Section 28 and is intended to raise awareness of, and combat prejudice against, an otherwise substantially invisible minority.

The first celebration of the month in 2005 saw the organization of over 150 events around the UK. The organization's website received over 50,000 hits in February 2005 and the initiative grew from strength to strength since then.

The initiative received government backing from the deputy DfES and Equalities Minister Jacqui Smith.

In 2005 and 2006, LGBT History Month was celebrated in Scotland as an LGBT community event, receiving support from LGBT community history projects and the community.

For 2007 and 2008, the Scottish Executive provided funding for a post at LGBT Youth Scotland to bring LGBT History Month Scotland into the wider community, including schools and youth groups.

On 5 March 2009, Prime Minister Gordon Brown hosted a reception at Downing Street to mark the Month.

The LGBT Excellence Centre is currently seeking the support of the Welsh Assembly Government to establish LGBT History Month Cymru and is seeking your support.

Throughout the month of February we are seeking nominations from the community for outstanding individuals that have contributed to LGBT History in Wales.

To enter your nomination, all you need to do is to submit the name of the individual that you would like to put forward for their achievement or contribution along with an explanation as to why you think they should be recognised.

We are offering a free one-year membership to our organization to everyone that enters the competition, a special invitation to an award ceremony, and the opportunity to be entered into a special draw for a chance to win fantastic prizes!

To enter your nomination email: LGBTHMC@ecwales.org.uk

The Gender Fluidity Project Exploring gender identities, expressions, roles, stereotypes, and presentations to raise awareness and inform!

More and more is being achieved in todayâ€&#x;s society to protect the rights of transgender people! Yet, despite effort from many organisations in the public and voluntary sector, there is still lack of awareness and understanding around gender issues whilst transgender people continue to be the most discriminated against group in the UK. The Gender Fluidity Project is currently looking for participants who would like to contribute with their opinion and experience to create a wealth of resources and materials to raise awareness around gender issues.

The project is looking to explore and document the experience or opinion of anyone who has an something to say around gender identity, expression, roles, stereotypes and presentations.

Contributions can be recorded in a number of ways depending on what individuals are comfortable with and would like to disclose.

For example, we have already teamed up a photographer with a transsexual who is telling her story through photography.

Another volunteer is also keeping a diary detailing the transition and the changes that are taking place day-by-day.

We are also looking for people who would like to be trained in digital media to tell their story on camera or that would like to support someone else telling their story.

There is no rule to what story we want to hear or who can get involved with the project, because everyone matters and everybody counts when it comes to telling how diverse people are when it comes to gender!

If you feel that you can support the project and would like to discuss your story or opinion with someone, you can email gender@ecwales.org.uk and we can make sure to look after your needs and be sensitive if you would like to keep your identity confidential and stay anonymous!

We will keep you posted with developments around this project in the next issue of LGBT Wales.

Weâ€&#x;ll look forward to hear as many people as possible!!

Gender News Article published on intersex conditions: First Person: Susannah Cornwall, theologian at Exeter University http:// www.thisisexeter.co.uk/ news/Person-SusannahCornwall-theologistExeter-University/article1719495-detail/ article.html US President Barack Obama has appointed a trans woman to the role of senior technical advisor to the Department of Commerce. Amanda Simpson is on the board of directors of the National Centre for Transgender Equality and has worked in the aerospace and defence industry for 30 years.

The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) has ruled that a Belfast newspaper breached the press code of practice for calling a trans woman a "tranny".

Keira McCormack complained she had been deeply insulted by the November 1st 2009 article in the Sunday Life which described her as "burly".

Legal Matters All you need to know about the Single Equality Bill.: what are the implications for LGBT people as an unequal Act is on the horizon?

Sexual Orientation Matters The Equality Bill is the topic on everyone‟s lips. The aim of the Equality Bill is to harmonise existing discrimination legislation yet the only current achievement to date is chaos.

The proposed Bill should provide all equality strands with equal access to equality, as idyllic as this sounds it is currently proving difficult to achieve.

The controversial debate in the House of Lords this week was whether the exemption allowing religious organisations to discriminate during recruitment against gay people, transgender and women should remain?

It appears that where there is conflict between equality strands, the loudest bidder gains the right to ‟trump‟ the other.

Harriet Harman‟s Bill is trying to amend the current law that allows religious organisations to discriminate during recruitment; the Bill proposed that people should be recruited on skill and merit alone.

The House of Lords rejected the proposal leaving the “churches free to discriminate”.

The National Secular Society will complain to the European Commission because the Government has a duty to ensure UK Law complies with the EU directive. Rejection of the current proposal will not be complying, Keith Porteous Wood, Executive Director of the National Secular Society said

“The Government has faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of religious agitation in the Lords”.

The Equality Bill proposes to provide protection from harassment to the following vulnerable groups; race, age, disability and sex, however, LGBT people are excluded.

This in itself is discriminatory practice. To afford protection to one equality strand and not another is not equal treatment for all which is the very essence of the Equality Bill.

The justification put forward is that LGBT people will be able to rely on the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations for protection from harassment or the Protection from Harassment Act. However, this seems a little confusing as other groups address by the new bill can do the same, so how can this be just and equal treatment for all?

The implication here is that a person risks outing themselves or being perceived as LGBT simply by having to rely on the old Regulations regardless of whether their actual sexual orientation is disclosed or not.

Furthermore, the Equality and Human Rights Commission made the recommendation that sexual orientation is included in the Bill‟s protection from harassment section because there is currently no protection from harassment outside of employment and vocational training, therefore protection is required in the field of services, premises and education.

Gender Identity Matters Gender Reassignment will become a characteristic which is protected from discrimination, enabling a person who presents themselves full time in a different gender to that assigned at birth to be legally protected even if they have not pursued medical procedures.

Some may feel that this is a positive step, yet there are many who feel angered that the proposed terminology used refers to „Gender Reassignment‟. There are also many who feel that the correct term should be „Gender Identity‟.

A Blog spot called Just Filling In The Blanks, has published an article stating “We need transgender, transvestite, genderqueer, androgyne, neutrois, thirdgender, gender variant and intersex people to share their experiences. At the moment, politicians just don't understand who other than transsexual people our gender diverse communities might include.”

They are trying to put together an amendment briefing to present to the House of Lords and are urging people to complete a survey at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/ s/7HLTHP2.

Paying for Care in Wales

What happened to Triangle Wales?

First set up in 1991, the Cardiff Triangle Housing Society with funding from Tai Cymru set up a supported housing project for 16 -25 year old lesbian or gay people in desperate housing need.

From 2000 it became Triangle Wales and was accommodated within Trothwy Cyf (now Gwalia Care and Support).

In 2002 the project gained Welsh Assembly funding to deliver a Wales-wide „prevention of homelessness‟ service for LGBT people of all ages.

Then in 2009 negotiations led to a partnership agreement between Gwalia Care and Support and the LGBT Excellence Centre for Wales so that the project could transfer and be delivered by this already existing LGBT specialised service.

The LGBT Excellence Centre therefore proudly carries the work of this most important housing support, advice and advocacy service forward for LGBT people within Wales.

The Excellence Centre hopes with successful funding applications, to once again open supported accommodation projects for LGBT people made vulnerable through housing

crisis or at threat of homelessness under the Triangle Wales name.

Working in collaboration with Tai Pawb and the Chartered Institute of Housing, the LGBT Excellence Centre will also continue to assist social and private landlords in providing approachable, LGBT sensitive, fair housing and support.

The project will also be addressing social care and health needs of LGBT people that could aggravate their housing circumstances or worsen a case of homelessness.

For help and support with housing and homelessness issues, please contact housing@ecwales.org.uk or call 0800 023 2201

The current system of paying for care for older and disabled people is over 60 years old, and needs to change if we are to meet increasing demand and higher expectations.

We want to create a system that is simpler, fairer and more affordable for individuals, their families and government.

The Welsh Assembly Government wants to know your views on how we should pay for care in the future. „Paying for Care in Wales: creating a fair and sustainable system‟ was published on 16 November 2009. It sets out a number of options for reforming the current system, and sets out the main advantages and disadvantages of each.

For further information, visit: www.payingforcarein wales.net End of consultation: 28/02/2010

TAI 2010 is the annual conference of Chartered Institute of Housing Cymru. Now in its 22nd year the event is better than ever and has firmly established itself as Wales‟ Premier Housing Conference and Exhibition.

Over the course of its three days the 2009 event brought together 600 people, consisting of 400 Welsh housing professionals and more than 60 organisations in the largest exhibition of its kind in Wales. TAI 2010 promises to be another superb event! More information can be found at www.cih.org

An Anatomy of Inequality The final report of the National Equality Panel provides an up to date analysis of what inequality looks like in today‟s society, in light of changing demographics, the changing role of men and women, and globalisation. The report shows how inequality accumulates over an individual‟s lifetime and is carried from one generation to the next. More information can be found here: http://www.equalities.gov.uk/ national_equality_panel.aspx

Whilst there is growing support for LGB young people in some areas of Wales through youth services and youth clubs, there is still very little awareness of the needs of young transgender people and never mind support...

Here‟s a story that sets the difference: A 16-year-old Spaniard had a sex change operation, becoming the country's first minor to undergo a procedure that few countries in the world allow for people so young, the patient's doctor has announced. Dr Manero said the patient had been undergoing hormonal and psychiatric treatment for two years after deciding he wanted to undergo surgery to have the body of a woman. The surgery was authorised by a judge, as required by Spanish law for minors seeking such an operation.

Evviva l’ España!

Spotlight: Bi Wales Bi Cymru/Wales was set up as a community voluntary organisation in 2007 by a committed team of volunteers, who felt that bisexual issues were not understood well enough by either straight or lesbian and gay people.

Bi Cymru/Wales is the all-Wales network for bisexual people and those who think they may be bi.

The organisation aims to provide an all-Wales network to bring together bi and bi-supportive people from across Wales by providing a bridge between decision-makers and bisexual people in order to challenge biphobia, promote bisexual inclusion, and promote and foster local bi groups in Wales.

We asked Ele Hicks, treasurer of Bi Wales: “What the organization achieved so far?”
