This Month we have guest speaker from the V&A Dundee's Lavender Label Project!

We are delighted to welcome Assistant Curator, Louise Dickson, who is part of the V&A Dundee’s Lavender Labels, will be with us to tell us more about the Lavender Labels project.

V&A Dundee's Lavender Labels is an ongoing project which uncovers and reinterprets objects in the Scottish Design Galleries from an LGBTQ+ perspective. Within the Scottish Design Galleries, you can find a trail of purple labels and objects telling stories of protest, DIY, LGBTQ+ comics, drag and lifelong love and partnership.

Part of this session involves an ice breaker with discussion. Please bring an object which you would define as a queer object (there are no wrong answers!) Looking forward to hearing about all of your objects.

Anyone aged 50 and above is welcome to join our online meetup. It is a welcoming and safe space where you can meet new people, catch up with old friends and connect with your local community.

The LGBT Age team will be there to meet and greet you. There will be some gentle, no pressure relaxed social activities to help folks introduce themselves and get to know each other, and we'll use breakout rooms for smaller group chats.

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month.

Who we welcome

All LGBTQ+ people in Scotland aged 50 and above are welcome to join us.

We welcome the entire diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community including non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual people and all identities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.

We also welcome people who are exploring or aren't sure about their sexual orientation/gender identity, or who do not use labels for either.
