Pride Month!

Hello UTAMA!

As many may now know we have reached the nearly midway point of 2021 (Crazy right). So that means its *checks watch* JUNE. Around the world June has been celebrated as Pride month. This is in commemoration of the Stonewall riots in 1969, where pride parades have been held almost every year since during the month of June.

So seeing that it is Pride month and we are actually an anime club, we have decided to run weekly LGBTQ+ anime groupwatches on our discord server (https://discord.com/invite/Bemngwa). Every Sunday in June at 7pm, we will show 4-5 episodes of a selected series and at the end, gather all the series we didn’t watch and share them with all of you. That way no one’s selections are missed out and more niche series can spread to broader audiences. 

In addition on June 9th and 23rd we will show an LGBTQ+  movie; submitted by one of you! 

Our exec team will be selecting each series, as such anime that contains highly sensitive themes such as sexual assault will not be selected to maintain this event's inclusivity.

How are we doing this? 

Below is a form where you can submit a series of your choice, and an optional explanation as to why you’ve chosen it. Execs are also encouraged to submit responses. Each week a new series will be chosen but don’t worry we will keep track of them all. The form will close after the final groupwatch to allow us to create a masterlist for all of you. 

Although the form only allows one submission at a time we encourage you to submit as many times as you'd like

When are we doing this?

For specific dates we have June 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th at 7PM for series and June 9th and 23rd for films. 

Some important rules before submitting: 

Because this is an inclusive community we have zero tolerance for any form of harassment, homo/transphobia, and discriminatory language. If any exec witnesses any of the above occurring it will result in an immediate ban from the group.
