This week brings one of America’s best recognized holidays: Valentine’s Day. There are flowers, and chocolate, taking your special someone out to dinner or to a movie, and much more, but it’s all built around heterosexual couples. So this Valentine’s Day, I want to challenge us as a club to think about how we can expand awareness of the LGBTQ+ community and how we can make it so that they are right alongside us in enjoying this holiday. I want to address language, bias incidents that have been seen on campus, what we can do to make this campus a friendlier place, and what we can do to be allies to the LGBTQ+ community and what it means to be an ally. There can also be general open discussion, if anyone has topics they would like to discuss or questions they would like to ask. The space will be a safe space for open and comfortable discussion. The meeting will go with what the group is feeling, and where people are at, so no real enforced structure.
