Glasgow University Muay Thai

What’s up Thaigers? 🐯
Thai-gays? no, too far okay.
‼️FEEDBACK FORM‼️
https://forms.gle/frhufDVCxwUjXZXn6

It’s Pride! The month where you are legally obligated to send me a fiver.
Or just send us feedback on how we can be more inclusive as a club. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💕

We all know that pride began as a protest, back when Tesco didn’t have the balls to ride a float advertising their gay meal deal.
Unfortnately, that gay discounted sandwich hasn’t been around very long. 🥲

I never thought I’d miss the corporate pride, but it’s definitely less fashionable to be supporting the qu**rs this year...
Thankfully, GUMT don’t care about being fashionable (though our gold shorts suggest otherwise).

GUMT is an aggressively safe space. We may be a fighting club, but we’re a fighting FAMILY first 🫶✨💕(sorry)
Jokes aside, we’re aware it’s not the most celebratory mood this year. It can be difficult to find a lot of pride amidst the rising intolerance.
However, this pride month is a great opportunity to take care of your community. Make your pride local. Small efforts make big waves ( ) 🌊 🏊

ALL thaigers are welcome, and anyone that has an issue with that is welcome to consider that the club knows how to punch. Like, we’re literally a fighting club. They may be our welfare team but Max and Khiwamaa could lay you flat. Just consider it…

Have a great pride Thaigers! 🐯🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

how’s it going thaigers? 🐯💥
Sometimes booze isn’t for everyone, and our Sober Social is coming up - we’re hiking! Beautiful views atop the earl’s seat await you.

I know it’s exam season, but I promise that seeing daylight will be good for you. Not to sound like my therapist, but maybe taking a break for some fresh air would make you want to scream less?
Plus, no hangxiety the next day.
