Gerard Phillips

The next meeting *Rainbows, Rights and Religiosity* is on Wednesday, November 4 with guest speaker Gerard Phillips.

Gerard has been Vice President of the National Secular Society since 2010\. A gay activist of sorts, Gerard *came out* aged 17 while working for the Ministry of Defence (that career didn’t last…) and he went on his first ‘Gay Pride’ demonstration in 1981.

He has, amongst other things, been a volunteer with London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard and the Cardiff AIDS Helpline and worked for three years as a researcher at University College Cardiff on the UK’s first ever Government-funded survey into gay and bisexual male lifestyles.

He now lives in Brighton (Hove actually…) and is a member of the Brighton Secular Humanists.
