EQUALITY NETWORK - LGBT News - Ensuring the Safety of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People: Policing and Beyond

20/02/2007
Well, I suppose this is as good a time as any for me to come out of the closet. I can't help the way I was born. It's just who I am. I've never announced this to a group publicly, but I guess it's about time. I am heterosexual. I am absolutely certain in my entire being that I could never be homosexual, no matter how hard I might try. I've never been attracted to another man in my life, and the idea of engaging in a homosexual act is foreign and distasteful to me. But just as I would hope that homosexual men and women could accept me for who I am, I promise to try to accept them for who they are. Why can't you do the same? Why can't we all do the same?

~Ed Fallon, Representative for Iowa, 20th February 1996

Ensuring the Safety of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People: Policing and Beyond
The ACPOS LGBT Reference Group Biennal Conference meets on Thursday 17th December 2009, 10am – 4pm, in Fife.

We all hope never to be a victim of crime, but, if we are, we need to have confidence in the police and the structures in place to help at a difficult time.
This national conference provides an opportunity for LGBT groups and people across Scotland to come together with representatives from the police and national LGBT organisations to discuss how to establish trust between the police and LGBT people.
The day will explore the challenges around LGBT Community safety drawing on personal experiences, the early findings from a new Community Safety Survey and offer an opportunity to learn about and influence police policy through workshops and panel discussions.
Register now: 170 people attended the previous conference: to register your place for this important day, see registration form attached.
Registration FREE : Places will be offered on a first come first served basis. Scottish Police College, Tulliallan Castle, Kincardine, Fife, FK10 4BE. (Transport from Stirling Rail Station will be provided.)
