When you typically think of pride – you might think of someone who is ‘self-obsessed’ or ‘arrogant’ … well personally that is two things I don’t think a student is?! Ok, so maturity is a word we may forget now and then, but other than a little friendly banter the only way I can relate students with Pride (as a sin) is GAY PRIDE.
The concept of Gay Pride is to encourage individuals to come forward and be PROUD of who they are, and what they believe in! Many students come to University not just to receive a better education, but to also learn who they really are. It is a time in your life when you can be you. Hopefully the photographs in this post of my friend and I will show this.
A close friend of mine, who kindly agreed to feature in my blog, told me the easiest time to ‘come out’ is at University because you are starting afresh; no-one knows your past, you make new friends who accept you no matter what; and generally speaking, you only go to University once so why hold back?!
Homophobic behaviour is something I DESPISE – you cannot help what the heart wants; be it someone of a different sex or the same, it is something that people need to just ‘deal with’. Our generation is a lot more accepting of things in general, yet we still have a long way to go before the world becomes completely tolerant. How about starting slowly and seeing where it goes ... and what better place to start than University!

If you look in the mirror, what do you see staring back; is it you or maybe someone you pretend to be – I am not writing this post to judge, purely to express my views. I believe in order to lead a happy life you need inner-peace and if you cannot be true to yourself who can you be?
The photographs are in order to represent; Vulnerability, Judgement,Confusion, Expression and not forgetting most importantly FREEDOM !!

With our student budget, the use of bright UV colours and some excellent make-up and photography skills we want to demonstrate to others that be PROUD of who you are – who cares what others think, this is your life so live it the way you want to …
