Love-In
continued from page 1
leadership regarding sexual orienta
tion or gender identity.
Sophomore Colin Hedrick said he
did feel safe on campus until a few
weeks ago when Martorano’s com
ments were published.
“No one should ever have to feel
pain or hate because of other peo
ple’s ignorance,” he said.
LGBTQA co-Director Austin Shaw
Phillips, who identifies as a transgen
der man, also said he does not always
feel safe. He said ignorance may be a
key factor behind negative reactions
to transgender people.
“If they can’t tell whether you’re
male or female, it scares them,”
Shaw-Phillips said.
Shaw-Phillips is particularly wary
of people reacting violently toward
him in places they feel he does not
belong. For example, he said he does
not always feel sectire using the
men’s bathroom.
“Every time I do it, I get scared,”
he said.
Junior Matthew Strickland, who
lives in the residence halls, also said
he has experienced harassment. He
has been called names and received
death and physical threats.
“For me, I can shrug it off because
I’ve experienced it my entire life,”
Strickland said.
LGBT Educational and Support
Services Director Ghicora Martin
said different students have different
experiences with regard to their sex
ual orientation or gender identity.
“Certain individuals feel invisible,
and because of that invisibility, they
don’t feel it’s safe to be out,” Martin
said. Martin said that a university
campus must be supportive and cele
bratory of all its members, and hate
speech and discrimination should be
addressed.
About 50 percent of the respon
dents of Rankin’s diversity survey re
ported that sensitivity/awareness
workshops would increase the Uni
versity community’s awareness
about the LGBT population and oth
er‘minority groups.
ASUO President Maddy Melton
said Martorano’s commentary was a
catalyst for opening dialogue on is
sues affecting the gay community.
She said events like the Love-In are a
challenge to the University adminis
tration and the campus to address
problems on a tangible level.
“I feel we can all acknowledge that
while it’s not the worst place for our
community to be, it can be better,”
Melton said. She added that LGBT
students deserve the same quality of
education as all students, but many
feel frustrated by the dominant hete
rocentric focus in coursework and in
the classroom environment.
Associate Dean of Students and
Director of Student Life Laura Blake
Jones said the University is actively
engaged in various programs that
help foster diversity on campus.
“I think there’s been a lot of hard
work done to make this a safe and in
clusive climate,” Blake Jones said.
Still, she added that even with these
efforts, incidents of discrimination
aren’t uncommon.
“We still need to keep working,”
she said.
