LGBTQ office kicks off
A new University office will add recognition — but little in the way of additional resources — to Yale’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
The new Office of LGBTQ Resources, which does not have a physical office space, will provide support for all members of Yale’s queer community, said office director Maria Trumpler, special assistant to the deans for LGBTQ issues. In many ways the office, officially launched in a ceremony Thursday afternoon, is just a name, members of the LGBTQ Co-op said. But it symbolizes Yale’s support for what students at Thursday’s...
LOL Hieronymus.
If the Co-Op office is "a dingy little room" the Yale Women's Center is just three dingy little rooms. They should get a new space, too. Maybe LGBTQ and them can share the same building.
This article forgot to formally introduce Yoshi Shapiro '11. She's the other co-op co-coordinator. (That's a lot of "co"s.) It never refers to her by more than last name.
Okay, educate me:
What is the difference between "lesbian, gay, bisexual" and "queer"?
Also, I take issue with characterizing LGBT as "an oft-forgotten Yale minority." LGBT is arguably the loudest and most visible group on campus! Students are *never* allowed to "forget" it.
As for communities and cultural houses: when will we be getting an Islamic Center; why should Hillel get all the fun? And where do the Wiccans meet (outside of Yale DIV)?
Just asking...
