Guest Facilitator– Dr. Dawn Stinchcomb
The Latino Cultural Center is sponsoring a film festival this semester. Next week, a movie about one of the most famous Cuban writers recognized in the US, Reinaldo Arenas will be presented. This movie is based upon his life.
Born in 1943 in Holguín, a rural mountainous area in northeastern Cuba, Arenas lived in such poverty that he wrote that he didn’t even have paper to write his poetry. In a region where schools and hospitals were rare, the fact that this guajiro (country boy) could read and write was miraculous, let alone the fact that he wrote beautiful poetry. His poverty, his poetry, and his sexuality made Arenas a victim to a bigoted society. He led a mostly miserable life in Cuba where he was mercilessly persecuted in one form or another for being himself, but he lived for a decade in the US disillusioned. This movie stars Javier Bardem in the lead role. Sean Penn has a small role and Johnny Depp plays a transsexual.

PSG Resolution
To beloved Queer and Ally Community,
While the Queer Student Union generally does not send out policy statements, the nondiscrimination policy has been deemed an exception.
Today, February 10, 2010, the Purdue Student Government Senate approved of a resolution urging the University to amend its non-discrimination policy to include Gender Identity and Expression, Genetic Information, and Political Affiliation. The resolution was passed unanimously, and we congratulate Purdue Student Government on
its overwhelming support. This policy, if approved by the administration, will be more inclusive of the Queer community at Purdue, helping to add levels of protection against discrimination and harassment to many members of our community. Purdue University is currently the only Big Ten University to not include Gender Identity
and Expression in its policy in some way.
This resolution still has a long way to go before it becomes a reality, but we certainly are one step closer.
The Queer Student Union would like to thank Purdue Student Government for its passage of the resolution, and urge those who will see this resolution in the future to follow with strong support. Thank you to our senators for passing this resolution.
Thank you,
Jessica Lee
President

Atheism & Sexuality
Friday, February 5
5:30-7:00pm
WTHR 172
One hour lecture by Greta Christina with time for Q&A.
The sexual morality of traditional religion tends to be based, not on solid
ethical principles, but on a set of taboos about what kinds of sex God does and
doesn't want people to have. And while the sex-positive community offers a more
thoughtful view of sexual morality, it still often frames sexuality as positive
by seeing it as a spiritual experience.
What are some atheist alternatives to these views? How can atheists view sexual
ethics without a belief in God? And how can atheists view sexual transcendence
without a belief in the supernatural?
