Od sredine osemdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja ŠKUC skrbi za socializacijo, ozaveščanje, informiranje in kulturo seksualnih manjšin, ki so bile do takrat odrinjene na družbeni rob. Slovensko gejevsko in lezbično gibanje se je začelo leta 1984 (z ustanovitvijo sekcije Magnus) oziroma 1987 (z ustanovitvijo sekcije LL) kot pionirsko na tem področju v vzhodni Evropi. Danes delujeta ŠKUC LL (lezbična sekcija) in Redakcija za enake možnosti – REM, ki združuje Magnus (gejevska sekcija) in ŽmreŽo (Program za spodbujanje ženske in lezbične umetniške ustvarjalnosti. Deluje kot lastna soba za glasbeno, vizualno, filmsko umetnost in literaturo.) ter številne interesne skupine LGBTQ+. V okviru družbenih gibanj organizirajo Festival LGBT filma, izobraževalne akcije o homoseksualnosti in aidsu, razstave, radijsko oddajo Lezbomanija na Radiu Študent, izdajajo revije in knjige … Več o aktivnostih na naslovu www.ljudmila.org/siqrd in www.ljudmila.org/lesbo.

Since the middle of the 1980s ŠKUC has embraced marginalised groups in Slovenia’s society and made efforts to improve their socialisation and spread awareness of and information on their alternative lifestyles and cultures. The Slovenian gay and lesbian movement began in 1984 (with the establishment of the Magnus section) and 1987 (with the establishment of the LL section) respectively as a pioneer in this field in Eastern Europe. Today, sections actively working in this area are ŠKUC LL (a lesbian section), and the Section for Equal Opportunities – REM bringing together Magnus (a gay section), Žmreža (a program promoting women’s and lesbian artistic creativity which functions as a room of one’s own for music, visual and film art and literature), as well as numerous LGBTQ+ interest groups. In the field of civil rights, ŠKUC is the organiser of the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, educational activities on homosexuality and AIDS, exhibitions, the Lezbomanija radio show broadcast by Radio Student, the publisher of magazines and books, etc. More information about these activities can be found at www.ljudmila.org/siqrd and www.ljudmila.org/lesbo.

Specialising mainly in gender-related and sexuality topics, the library is considered to be the most comprehensive special collection of literature on homosexuality in Slovenia. It includes literary works, GLBT theory, periodicals, and audiovisual collections, documents on human rights, media and documentary archives. The library’s catalogue is available at www.ljudmila.org/lesbo.
