Portland State University stu
dent group is promising six days
full of fun and educational speak
ers and workshops from April 23
to 28 on the downtown campus.
This years Queer Awareness Week theme is
“Body, Mind and Soul in the New Millennium,”
a holistic approach to queer health. The events
are open to people of all ages and orientations.
Shaun Marks, who is coordinating the week
with Meredith Roller, said Queers and Allies
has been working overtime putting the activities
together. Although the event has been held in
the past, it never has been this involved.
“This is definitely the most ambitious,”
Marks said. “T he main thing we’re hoping to
accomplish is to interact with more people on
campus and off campus.”
Marks said that Queers and Allies even
turned to other student groups and to other insti
tutions for assistance and that the sponsors came
through. “The university has been very helpful."
The biggest coup was bœking The Preacher’s
Son author Marc Adams and his partner, Todd
Tuttle, who are flying in on their own dime.
“They’re losing money to come see us,” Marks said.
Another popular draw should be author Lesléa
Newman, whose controversial book Heather Has
Two Mommies celebrated its 10th anniversary last
year. “I’m hoping to get a big turnout,” Marks said.
All events are in Smith Memorial Center,
1825 S.W. Broadway, unless otherwise noted:
