YUSU Officer Elections / YUSU Officer Elections 2019 / 60 Second Manifestos / LGBTQ Officer

LGBTQ Officer

The LGBTQ Officer is responsible for representing the views and needs of LGBTQ students and making sure they are taken into account by the Students’ Union and the University. They run campaigns to make York a more inclusive and diverse place for LGBTQ people and see that awareness of LGBTQ issues is increased. They also lead the LGBTQ Network which is a student group which exists to help LGBTQ students get to know each other, runs discussions, relaxed meetings, and gets involved with events like York Pride. Gem Card and Matthew Gordon are running jointly as the sole candidates for this role, but declined the opportunity to film a 60 Second Manifesto.
