youth group listing: http://www.locallife.co.uk/wirral/youthgroups3.asp
our mission is to establish a SAFE alternative shopping mall
(http://myspace.com/deviantgear)
and Alternative Lifestyle Culture Media and Awareness Centre in every city on the planet!!
BIG ambition, maybe, but if we don't try,who will? Well all the amazing organizations out there for a start, with whom we are going to network and make the Alternative and LGBT subcultures/communties stronger!
SO COME AND JOIN US!
We are starting in the north west of the UK (a notorious anti alternative hotspot) and intend to expand right across the UK and beyond!
THIS IS NOT A PIPEDREAM!!!
YEARS of research and networking pre and post Internet shows us that there is a MASSIVE demand for this project idea, especially as for many LBGTs, to leave the house is to dice with death and it is getting that way for Alternative people too... *sigh*
let's not have any more deaths of Alternatives and LGBTs; and create safe havens in every city to *chat* *chill* *be creative (art/lit/music)* *make up tips and feminisation/maculinisation techniques* discuss important issues* *trips* *gigs* *club nights (music/comedy etc)* *stalls and shops (http://www.myspace.com/deviantgear)* *advice*
Counselling would be provided but we are NOT assuming there is ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU!!! Often LGBTs and Alternative people need counselling for the abuse they have suffered from antagonistic family 'friends' and the genral public; NOT for what they look like or how they dress. With TS issues counselling is obligatory before any sex change can take place in the UK, which is not always a positive thing; many TSs hve talked of therapists trying to 'cure' them rather than offering constructive advce on gender change...
ALL our online auxiliary pages (see our Top Friends) have an MSN and e mail online advice and chat line. Our is: The Liscard Alternative at hotmail dot co dot uk (has been spelt out and separated like this to avoid spammers)
And of you haven't already PLEASE fill in the Alternative/LGBT questionnaire on the myspace group page and in The Liscard Alternative blog...thank you. If we get 1000 we can petition Parliament...(we have 271 at the moment!)
Neuroticfish and their management have kindly allowed us to use this profile song as our 'theme' song at our talks at schools and colleges, at our Centre and on all our websites...so go and add them to your friends on here,they're on our Top Friends!
We are a CHARITY organisation but get NO regular government funding due to the fact that Alt people are NOT recognised as a valid subculture and thus have no legal rights. THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ONE FOR OUT ALT WEEKENDER(stalls,gigs,demos) IN FEB 08 AS PART OF THE LIVERPOOL CAPITAL OF CULTURE CELEBRATIONS- SO BANDS,ARTISTS, AUTHORS, RETAILERS(alt gear/tatooists/alternative therapies,martial artists) ETC GET IN TOUCH, COME ON DOWN AND HELP OUT!!!! Therefore one of our campaigns is to get the law changed in regard to policing policies towards Alt people(currently there are NONE!)
regarding hate crimes and the definition of this term; which is at present WOEFULLY inadequate; against LBGT and Alt people; a change in the law for voting at 16 and
full accountability for under age criminals as well as equal rights for young people in relation to adults; a third gender or option to not disclose your gender on job applications,DSS forms,DVLA forms etc etc...to raise awareness of subcultures and help to stop intolerance and hatred(ESPECIALLY HATE CRIMES such as Altphobia, trans- and homophobia),as well as towards animals and attitudes to phsyical and mental illness and/or disabilities.
It is for this reason that we have teamed up with SOPHIE,Dogs Trust and Macmillan Cancer,and ALL our events' profits are split between us and these worthy causes.
