Everyone is welcome to join us for our monthly book club.

This months book is 100 Boyfriends by Brontez Purnell.

Transgressive, foulmouthed, and wildly funny, Brontez Purnell’s 100 Boyfriends is a filthy, unforgettable, and brutally profound ode to queer love in its most messy of variations. From one-night stands to recurring lovers, Purnell’s characters sleep with their co-worker’s husbands, expose themselves to racist neighbours, date Satanists, and drink their way out of trouble, all the while fighting – and often losing – the urge to self-sabotage.

The material we read from is male focused in terms of the character in the book.

We often have the author of the next book come down to talk about their work.

There is then the opportunity for a lively discussion about the book of the month with other members of the book club.

Join us for our Monthly LGBTQIA+ Movie Night.
This free event is open to all. With an introduction to the movie and discussion afterwards.
The event is hosted by Jackie Stacey Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at Manchester University.
This month our movie will be Love and Death on Long Island.
Love and Death on Long Island is a 1997 British-Canadian film directed by Richard Kwietniowski and starring Jason Priestley, John Hurt, Fiona Loewi, Sheila Hancock and Anne Reid. The storyline of obsession somewhat resembles that of Death in Venice.
Giles De’Ath (John Hurt) is a British writer who doesn’t use or understand anything modern. One day, he forgets his keys and locks himself out of his flat. It begins to rain, so he goes to see an E. M. Forster movie but, instead, accidentally enters the wrong theatre and sees the teen film Hotpants College II starring Ronnie Bostock (Jason Priestley). He becomes instantly infatuated with Ronnie’s beauty and becomes obsessed with the young actor. He goes to his movies in the cinema, buys teen magazines and cuts out pictures of him, and buys a VCR and TV in order to play rented video tapes of his movies. He lets his housekeeper come into his office less and less, so that he can do these things undisturbed. As his infatuation grows, it becomes obvious to those around him that Giles is becoming increasingly disturbed, though they don’t know why. His friend and agent suggests that he take a holiday and Giles sets out to meet Ronnie on Long Island.
