Tonight, students have the op portunity to listen to Staceyann Chin, a poet who will perform a stand-up routine at The Buzz at 6 p.m. Other upcoming events include LGBTA movie nights, the Queer Pride Dance on Saturday and a brown-bag lunch during which students will be able to discuss LGBT women’s and sexual health issues. Some events, such as InterSEX ions, a brown-bag lunch series dealing with LGBT issues, are sponsored by LGBTESSP. Lather said the InterSEXions series gives students a chance to discuss sex ual identity with guest speakers. “Basically, it’s looking at what is gender, what determines sexu al identity,” she said. The LGBTA will wrap up the month-long celebration with Les bopalooza, a concert by a number of gay, transgendered and bisexu al artists on April 29 and a lesbian music and culture forum on April 30. Hendel said she is excited to have the bands come to campus and hopes all students will want to come listen to their music. i {It’s the idea of rais ing the awareness that ‘hey we are here, and we are a valid part of the community. * Hawley Mathieson Events Coordinator “It’s just good music, regardless of whether you’re queer or not,” she said. Hendel also said the celebra tion brings together different sub sections of the LGBT community, which might usually not interact much, and helps them become aware of issues outside their sexu al orientation. “It just binds our community together,” she said. Senior linguistics major Haw ley Mathieson, events coordinator for LGBTESSP, said besides giv ing the LGBT community more cohesion, the celebration also demonstrates to the community that students of different sexual orientation are part of the Univer sity community, as well as the community at large. “I think this is important be cause it allows not only the cam pus community but also the greater community to see... that there really is an LGBT communi ty out here. It’s the idea of raising the awareness that ‘hey, we are here, and we are a valid part of the community,” Hawley Mathieson, Events Coordinator of he LGBTESSP said. Protest continued from page 1 leave the inside of the building af ter it closes at 5 p.m. Despite Monday’s meeting with students and Frohnmayer’s prom ise to join the WRC pending sen ate approval, protesters at a rally on the Johnson Hall steps Tues day said their cause still has a long way to go. “We had a beautiful showing at the meeting last night,” said Laura Close, one of the most vocal stu dents at the protest. “But we still do not have a voice.” The protest has grown in the past days beyond simply a push for the WRC. Those involved are also demonstrating against the current form of University deci sion-making and what they be lieve is a lack of student voice in that process. “I’d like the administration to take more seriously our concerns about democracy and recognize that some students are not as com placent as our media spokesper sons are,” Human Rights Alliance member Devin Dinihanian said. 0089971 SWING INTO SPRING!
