Poster "Gay support meeting 9 April"

About the original

Description

This hand drawn and printed poster promoted an event with a focus on supporting student members of the gay (LGBTIQA+) community on the Callaghan campus.

As of 2025, the University of Newcastle Student Association (or NUSA) Queer Guild represents the wider LGBTQIA+ community on campus. They act as a representative body that advocates on behalf of their members, as well as coordinating educational and social events.

Posters from similar events that were held on other dates are also represented in the University of Newcastle Poster Collection.

InformationThis poster is part of the University of Newcastle collection of posters (1970-1990) that were collected over the decades and housed in Special Collections. This poster collection reflects the history of Callaghan campus, and are a testament to the enduring spirit of student protest and social change and movements. The collection covers themes like defence, militarization, sexism, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ equality and many more. Last edited by: Kim Dempsey
