Event Details
The Middle Temple LGBTQ+ Forum invites you to attend its 2022 Annual Dinner, where we welcome Michael Gunning as our guest and speaker for the evening!
This is a chance for the LGBTQ+ members, students and Benchers of the Middle Temple – and their Allies, guests, family and friends – to dine together, to learn, to celebrate and to get some glitter on their lapels.
A big thank you to 4PB who are kindly sponsoring the drinks reception before dinner!
Change in speaker
The Middle Temple LGBTQ+ Forum regrets to announce that Tom Daley is unable to attend the dinner on 6 October due to unforeseen filming commitments. We are excited, however, to confirm that Tom’s friend and fellow international athlete, Michael Gunning, will be attending.
Michael is an internationally recognised professional swimmer, who has set numerous national records for both Team GB as well as Team Jamaica. He was awarded the Attitude Pride Award for his efforts in the LGBTQ community and appeared on the cover of Attitude magazine in 2021; he is a champion of diversity and LGBTQ+ rights around the world and recently appeared in the BBC One documentary, ‘Tom Daley: Illegal to be Me’.
