Queer Pride
continued from page 1
The LGBTA, which recently
celebrated its 30th anniversary on
campus, is celebrating Queer
Pride month in April as opposed
to June, when it is celebrated na
tionally, because most students
leave campus over the summer.
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.

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.
