———————————

When did you first get involved in the club?
I first started going to meetings back in my first semester at E-town but ended up getting extremely busy and not being able to make it to meetings anymore. I became involved again my junior year and became the VP that spring.

What activities take place during club meetings?
It depends on the meeting. Sometimes it’s a casual discussion,;other times we have done movie nights or even presentations on student research related to LGBTQ+ things.

Does your club host any events?
We have hosted a few over the years. We’re probably best known for the drag show, which didn’t happen last year. It’s up in the air about whether it will happen this year. We’ve also hosted Coming Out Day each year, where students can write with chalk on the BSC patio to celebrate pride. This year, E-town GSA is working with The Black Gryphon to promote The Vagina Monologues, a performance dedicated to raising awareness of the experience of womanhood. The show will take place on February 24th at 6:40pm at The Black Gryphon.

What is your favorite memory in your club?
Probably Coming Out Day last semester. We had a bunch of people turn up and write messages on the sidewalk. It was really inspiring.

Why should someone join your club?
E-town isn’t always the easiest place to be when you’re a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and the GSA can help you find a supportive community. Also, we’re pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
