UEA Staff Pride Group chose twelve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Heroes to remember during LGBT History Month 2012. These people are heroes for many different reasons; fighting for lgbt rights, pushing boundaries, sporting achievements, writing, defence of our country, music etc. A display of Heroes was on show in Union House, LaRC (Library) and in the new first floor of Chancellor's Drive Annexe during February.
Our lucky prize-winner is 2nd-year BIO student Isabel Johnston, who takes home a brilliant prize of CDs, DVD and Books by or about some of our LGBT Heroes. The prize has kindly been donated by CSED (Centre for Staff and Educational Development at UEA).

We hope this quiz helped raise awareness of LGBT issues. Things have greatly improved for LGBT people in our society but there are still inequalities, injustices, prejudices and persecution. LGBT people are just the same as everyone else, but some are heroes. The Quiz closed at the end of February 2012 - thank you to all those who took part. You can still read about the LGBT Heroes.
You may now see the Quiz Answers, and Heroes Nominated by Entrants.
