Today I experienced a full day of LGBT enlightenment. It Began at ten this morning at the ULU (University of London Union www.ulu.co.uk where amongst other things I collected a Broken Rainbow www.broken-rainbow.org.uk leaflet. I concluded my day at Congress House approximately two hours ago. I can't be sure, but in hindsight I think that a female may have been trying to chat me up while I was at Congress House this evening. Why do I think this? Unprompted, she offered her relationship inventory -with women-, and again unprompted - offered to accompany me to this year's London Lesbian and Gay film festival to watch a few films and followed it up by giving me her e-mail address... Hmmm What do I say? Sexual Anorexia...

In between leaving the ULU and arriving at Congress House, I browsed 'Gay's the Word' www.gaystheword.co.uk - while there, I couldn't help noticing the DVD films 'Portrait of a Marriage' www.rainbownetwork.com/UserPortal/Article/Detail.aspx?ID=21646&sid=62 'GIA' www.movies.nytimes.com/movie/160226/Gia/trailers 'and Claire of the Moon' www.imdb.com/title/tt0103977/trailers to name but a few. I took the opportunity to look at 'crAve' www.cravewomen.co.uk 'curve' www.curvemag.com 'DIVA' www.divamag.co.uk and the programme for the 25th March - 8th April 2009, 23rd llgff - London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival www.bfi.org.uk/llgff As I made my exit from 'Gay's the Word' the Stonewall www.stonewall.org.uk and Pink Adverts www.pinkadverts.com leaflets caught my eye.

I then made my way to 'First Out' www.firstoutcafebar.com where I drank a soft drink while I perused 'Out in the City' www.outmag.co.uk a 'Gingerbeer' www.gingerbeer.co.uk leaflet and issue 972 of the Pink Paper www.pinkpaper.com while in 'First Out' I made up my mind that 'Out Late' is a film that I would like to see at the llgff at 14.30hrs on Sunday 5th April 2009 - 'Out Late' explores those who 'come out' in their sixties and seventies including stories about 'coming out in church, discovering 'The L Word' www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1MhTkeSLc at eighty and transitioning from male to female after a lifetime in the navy and raising a family...

Last thing this evening I read the following:
