United DePauw is spreading this message all over campus in honor of National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered History month. Oct. 11 is National Coming Out Day. But it isn't a day for GLBT community members only. Junior Angela Thompson, co-president of UD, explained the purpose of coming out week applies to everyone. Senior Anisah Miley, co-president of UD, agreed.
College is the place to do that.
UD has packed the short week with events. UD will take a team to participate in the AIDS walk in Indianapolis Sunday. And Monday at 7 p.m. UD and LGBT services will sponsor a transgendered speakers panel. The presenters will speak about their experiences as members of the transgendered community. The event is open to the public and will serve as an opportunity to open dialogue between diverse sexual communities.
