Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break, are well rested, and ready to fight the good fight for social justice!

Next week (April 14 - 17) is LGBT Diversity Week. Each day, there will be an event honoring the diversity within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community.

On Thursday, April 14, we will be recognizing Day of Silence, a nationally honored occasion in which campuses all over the country rally to end the harassing, bullying, and name-calling experienced by LGBT individuals. WE NEED MANY, MANY VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST WITH THE DAY OF SILENCE INFORMATION TABLE FROM 11:00 - 2:00 NEXT THURSDAY!!!!

Afterwards, from 1:30 - 2:30 I will be facilitating "Louder than Words: A Workshop on Performances of Gender and Privilege" in the USU Room 306. I would love for each one of you to come participate.

Social & Multicultural Foundations of Education Film Night

Come watch an interesting film. It's free and educational!

Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World is the first documentary to deeply explore the lives of gay and lesbian people in non-western cultures. Traveling to five different continents, we hear the heartbreaking and triumphant stories of gays and lesbians from Egypt, Honduras, Kenya, Thailand and elsewhere, where most occurrences of oppression receive no media coverage at all. By sharing the personal stories coming out of developing nations, Dangerous Living sheds light on an emerging global movement striving to end discrimination and violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people.

Date: Wednesday, March 19th

Time: 7:00pm

Place: Academic Services Building Room 244 Please note: the Academic Services (AS) building is directly across from ED-1
go through the big glass doors and up the stairway).

"A childlike (wo)man is not a (wo)man whose development
has been arrested; on the contrary, (s)he is a (wo)man who
has given (her)self a chance of continuing to develop long
after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of
middle aged habit and convention."

OUTlist 2007!

CELEBRATE NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY!
There’s a new way to celebrate you… whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, fluid, transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, intersex, queer, questioning – or a heterosexual ally of an LGBT friend or family member!

To recognize you and other LGBT/ally individuals at Cal State Long Beach, the LGBT Resource Center is taking out a full-page ad in the campus newspapers on Thursday, October 11, 2007 featuring OUTlist 2007. This list is a way for CSULB students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends to come out as LGBT or heterosexual allies of LGBT individuals, should they choose to do so. This is our way of honoring out and proud LGBT individuals and their allies in the CSULB community.

The full-page advertisement will include the following introduction to explain OUTlist 2007:

“We are students, professors, coworkers, roommates, teammates, alumni/ae, friends, and family, and we are just a few of the intelligent, creative, and supportive lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals—or allies of LGBT individuals—who are part of the diverse Cal State Long Beach community. We invite you to join us in celebrating National Coming Out Day.”


Following this statement will appear hundreds of names of LGBT or ally students, staff, faculty, and alumni/ae who have chosen to be on OUTlist 2007.

We totally get that not everyone feels comfortable coming out, especially in the school newspaper! So if OUTlist 2007 is not for you… no worries, just forward this email to someone else who may be interested and stay tuned for our other events.

For those of you who do want to be on OUTlist 2007 this year, know that your courage inspires other students.

JOIN OUTLIST 2007!

If faculty, staff, and alumni/ae would like to join OUTList 2007 and are able, a donation of $5 to help offset
the cost of the full-page ad is appreciated. Online donations are accepted at https://karl.papubs.csulb.edu/giving/index.cfm. Be sure to designate the LGBT Resource Center as the recipient. Please remember to email your contact information separately so your name is included in OUTlist 2007.

The submission deadline is October 1, 2007.


SPREAD THE WORD!
In the spirit of other activist organizations, please send this email to 10 of your friends… even if you think they
are already on this email list.
