OUToberfest Recap
Dear queer and queer-friendly community,
OUToberfest was a BLAST!! I was absolutely ecstatic by the numbers and the people who showed up. Lots of gay couples, lots of gay singles, lots of straight couples, lots of straight singles, and so many kids!! Granted, most of these kids had leave before the drag show... which was awesome. M yfavorite part of the drag show... I can't decide between a very pink fairy MC waving a wand at the crowd "I make you all gay friendly~~!!", or the Dream girls performance.
I definitely had a lot of fun at all the booths, bought some really cool stuff as well [waves her new ring]. PQSU sold a whole bunch of t-shirts, and mucho fliers were passed out. Totally, a success. Queer friendly vendors in full force!!
We did, however, have two protesters show up. In the words of my friend, "2 protesters to 3000 attendees? I think we're doing quite well :) "
Luv you all!
Your ecstaticly happy bisexual crazy librarian,
Jessie Lee <3

Welcome to OUTober!!
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.

Catchup, Current Events, and Upcoming Events!
To our loving Queer and Queer Friendly Community:
A big THANK YOU for those of you who attended the Date-a-Queer Auction! And a special thank you to those who had bidded [especially on me :) ]. It was hilarious, and a great amount of fun! We made over $400, a portion of which was shared with Ally Association.
Outoberfest T-shirts! T-shirts are $10, and proceeds will be to benefit Pride Lafayette and Purdue Queer Student Union. We're selling all week in the QRC (STEW G-20). There will be officers available to sell shirts from 4:30-6pm Tuesday through Friday, and also from 1:30-4pm on Wednesday and Friday. Other times as officers are available!
Twice this week Purdue University played "host" to evangelist speaker Brother Jed Smock. The Purdue Queer Student Union made an appearance to demonstrate that Purdue has other views. We passed out many fliers, calendars, key chains, and even sold T shirts for Outober Fest while we were out there. A big thank you for the support from the greater Purdue community! We raised over $100 in donations!
Onto exciting upcoming events!! Walleyball will be on Wednesday October 1, from 7-9 in the RSC (Recreational Sports Center). Bring your competitive side! Also, Politics 101 will be on Thursday, October 2 at 6pm in LWSN 1142. We'll speak about LGBT issues in the upcoming race, and help people register.
