*That’s So Not Gay Forum* - Thursday, April 3rd, 7pm Krannert G016*

This forum explores the history of the incorrect and derogatory usage of "that's so gay" and similar phrases in society. Join in a discussion about issues relating to the Queer Community including the history of inappropriate phrases in common use. Come to participate in the discussion or just listen. To be discussed: slang from the past to present, duration of the trends, how it affected our lives, the current context of "that's gay", and how to stop it. Any other questions, please email arsteven@purdue.edu. Also - did we mention free pizza?
