Gender & Sexuality Alliance - Diversity Day

The last meeting of most months is Diversity Day, when we present educational content that explores the intersection of queerness with other marginalized identities, so that we may better understand the ways our community interacts with others.

The Gender and Sexuality Alliance has a commitment to protecting the well-being of queer students. We recognize the following as resources needed to maintain this well-being:

- A safe and inclusive community gathering space

- Access to queer education, including our community’s history, culture, and legal rights

- Protection from harassment, discrimination, and violence

- Gender-neutral bathrooms and other accommodations that are inclusive to transgender and gender non-conforming people, without alienating, isolating, or othering them

- Information relating to queer healthcare, including: Gender-affirming care, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, Mental health counseling

*** We define an inclusive space as one free of homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, aphobia, and any other form of bigotry that invalidates members of the queer community. We likewise do not tolerate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, national origin, or religion; this includes ableism, ageism, antisemitism, classism, islamophobia, racism, or sexism. Our goal is to establish a community in which all people enjoy freedom of existence without fear of oppression or condemnation. We see the fate of the queer community as intrinsically connected to the fates
