LGBTQ Conference

Last Thursday some of us attended the LGBTQ conference held at William Paterson University. It was a great success. We had representatives present from Ramapo, William Paterson, Montclair, Jersey City, and East Stroudsburg. The conference started out with an amazing guest speaker who had a lot of passion for the queer community and really got through to all of us, I think. He was really good. Then we broke off into 3 different workshops: a more fun one about sex, a more serious one about networking with different queer groups, and one about transgendered issues. They all went very well, and then we all met back up for lunch after about 2 hours. During lunch, we had another speaker, a grad student from Montclair. She showed a movie about some of the history of the queer community. Then we broke up again into 3 more workshops. We had a really fun and informative day. And, we got to network with some other schools' GSAs and plan on staying in contact and attending each other's events for support. We will keep you guys posted on when we will be coordinating trips.

Welcome Pride Friends!
