Saturday, October 17th was the last day of National Coming Out Week. To celebrate this, EROS, the LGBT and Ally group on the WAC campus, held the Annual Coming Out Tea in the Lit House on Sunday, October 18th. This event allowed people to gather, drink tea, eat snacks and share stories of themselves, friends, family and other people. The environment was safe, accepting and anonymous. It was amazing to be there.
One will not often see or be given the chance to attend events like this on such a socially conservative campus. However, when we can make things like this happen, it reminds people that there are safe, accepting people on campus, people to go to with problems and questions, and that there are others like you on campus, be you LGBT, ally and/or more.
P.S. I found a 1,200 year old white quartz arrowhead on October 1st at the Redman's farm as part of an archaeological excavation for my Doing Archaeology class with Dr. Julie Markin. I recommend the class and highly recommend her as a professor!!
Enjoy your week.
