Dear Queer and Queer-friendly community,
We've got a busy month ahead of us! It is very appropriate, considering that October is considered LGBT History month. Recap of last week: Walleyball last week to kick of OUTober, followed by Politics 101 the next day.
On Tuesday October 7th, there will be a volunteer callout to help with OUToberfest. It's at 8, right after QSU's weekly meeting, in the QRC [STEW G20].
On Wednesday October 8th, the Panhellenic Association is organizing the Take Back the Night March. Take Back the Night is a chance for you to show your support and take a stand for all those who have been involved in a sexual assault or abuse incident. The march starts off in MSEE following some speakers, and then will follow a path to Slayter Hill.
Thursday is going to be a busy day. From 7 to 9, Ally will be co-sponsoring an event with DRO [Diversity Resource Office], the National Coming Out Day Panel. This multicultural and multi-generational panel will discuss the issues of coming out, in Forney G140. Also, at 8, PQSU will be having it's monthly coffee night at Vienna. Feel free to drop by after the panel as well.
Finally, the event we've all been waiting for! Saturday, October 11th, from 4pm to midnight will be OUTober fest!! It'll be in downtown Lafayette, between 6th and 7th streets on Main Street. Pride Lafayette, Inc. and partners are hosting Greater Lafayette's first-ever Pride celebration. The event will feature live bands and DJs, food, information booths, a family area, dancing, drag entertainment, extended hours for local downtown businesses, and much more! Admission is FREE. Also, if you haven't gotten your OUToberfest shirts yet, they're $10 and available in the QRC.
