LGBTQ+ History Month LGBT Resource Center Newsletter

Cortney Johnson - Monday, October 2, 2023
 Events 
Cornell LGBT Resource Center Newsletter Header

In 1994, a group of education-based LGBTQ+ organizations rallied together to declare October LGBTQ+ History Month. For almost 30 years, this month has been an important time to reflect on the power of Queer history and coalition building for the future. We hope you will join us this October to participate in events that bring our community together. 

A few important events to note:

  • October 11th is National Coming Out Day. We will be celebrating with The Tatkon Center for New Students and Loving House at a Pride Pillow stuffing event in WSH. 
  • On October 25th, our LGBTQ+ History Month keynote, River Web, will be speaking about their experiences as a Two Spirit person. 
  • Finally, you can't miss Halloween Drag Bingo on October 27th!

These are not our only events this month--stay up to date by following us on Instagram or on Campus Groups. There will be another LGBTQ+ History Month Newsletter the week of 10/16

Join us for a weekly series that explores and promotes personal growth within LGBTQ+ identities. Below you will find a formal description of the program, but our aim is to create a relaxed, yet thought-provoking atmosphere where we promote identity development through casual chats about all things queer. And the best part? Delicious, free dinners will be provided for all participants! We believe that self-discovery and empowerment can be achieved through both lighthearted and meaningful exchanges. So come as you are, bring your appetite, and be ready to laugh, reflect, and connect with others over a delicious meal.

"Growthshops is a program that meets for six consecutive weeks throughout the semester, once a week for two hours at a time, that was created to help the attendees explore their sexual or gender identities through facilitated discussions in a group setting. Through guided activities and conversations on topics ranging from identity exploration, healthy relationships, gender expression, coming out/inviting in, queer resilience and more, we hope to provide our cohort with a space for self-discovery and empowerment. Free catered dinners are provided to all registered participants throughout the course of the program, as we will meet from 5:30-7:30pm every Wednesday starting Oct 11th."

If you are interested in becoming part of this cohort, please sign up through this link, or reach out if you have any questions!
