Federal government of the United States

The **federal government of the United States** (**U.S. federal government** or **U.S. government**) is the national governmentof the United States, a federal republic located primarily in North America, composed of 50 states, five major self-governing territories, several island possessions, and the federal district and national capital of Washington, D.C., where most of the federal government is based.

The U.S. federal government, sometimes simply referred to as "Washington", is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the president, and the federal courts, respectively. The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by acts of Congress, including the creation of executive departments and courts subordinate to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Femme

**Femme** is a term used in LGBT+ subculture to describe someone, typically a lesbian or otherwise sapphic woman, who has a feminine gender presentation. The term can refer to any femininity, but often refers to overblown and/or outwardly atypical femininity.

Femmes will often dress in feminine clothing, and typically present themselves in a more stereotypically feminine way, such as having long hair and wearing makeup. Femmes are also commonly thought of as having more "feminine" interests. However, femmes often subvert cultural expectations of femininity or show femininity in a uniquely lesbian way, as opposed to cishet women. Some transmasculine femmes may not take certain steps associated with transmasculine transition, such as going on testosterone. Femmes can be cisgender, transgender, or any other gender modality. Femme can also be used by non-binary individuals.

Traditionally, femmes have been expected to be attracted to butches. For some femmes, this attraction to butches represents a strong part of their own identity. However, some femmes are attracted to other femmes. This is sometimes referred to as "fem-for-fem" or "femme-for-femme."

While the femme label is often used by/associated with lesbians, it is also used by other groups in the LGBT+ community. This includes m-spec sapphics and LGBT+ men. Femme men often use the spelling "fem," which is simply the older version of "femme". "Fem" was also used by LGBT+ women before "femme" became common. Femme men are associated with highly exaggerated feminine style and manner, which is often a reclamation of the derogatory association of LGBT men with femininity.

Columbia Queer Alliance

**Columbia Queer Alliance** (**CQA**) is the central Columbia University student organization that represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning LGBTQ students. It is the oldest such student organization in the world, originally called the **Student Homophile League**, established in 1966 and recognized by the university on April 19, 1967.

## History

During its first year, the Student Homophile League had about ten members who fought with university administrators until the group was officially recognized. Stephen Donaldson, a bisexual-identified LGBT rights activist, is commemorated by a plaque and a portrait in the queer student lounge that bears his name, in one of Columbia's residence halls, for spearheading the creation of the group. One of the key issues over which Donaldson clashed with the administration was the right to keep members' names confidential.

When the group's charter was finally granted in April 1967, Donaldson sent an announcement to every media outlet he knew, but the only response was a radio interview on WNEW, a New York station, and an article in the *Columbia Daily Spectator*, which reported that some students believed the new group was an April Fools' Day joke. Two weeks later, on May 3, *The New York Times* reported the story on its front page. Donaldson later wrote: "The next couple days were frantic as media—which had ignored the press release—suddenly wanted the information I had already given them."

Student activists at Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Rutgers University, and Stanford University formed similar groups of their own within two years. More than 150 such student groups had been established by the end of four years.

## Activities

Among other activities, the Columbia Queer Alliance has hosted "First Friday Dances" for decades, which at their inception were one of the few places where college-age LGBT people could socialize with one another.

Many of the Columbia Queer Alliance's activities have been historically held in Earl Hall, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018 in recognition of its role in queer history.

Aurorasexual

Demisexual

**Demisexual** is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum defined as someone who does not experience sexual attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone. The connection can be romantic, platonic, or some other form of connection. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between demisexuals. Forming an emotional bond with someone does not mean that one is automatically attracted to said individual, as it just means there's now a possibility for one to feel attraction.

It is important to distinguish between typical sexual attraction to friends and romantic partners, and demisexuality. Additionally, it is important to note that demisexuals are not simply choosing to abstain from sexual activity until they know the individual better. Allosexuals are capable of feeling sexual attraction to individuals they do not know very well, though they typically choose not to act on it. Demisexuals are incapable of feeling sexual attraction unless a close relationship is established, though they may still engage in sexual activity with the assumption that attraction will develop at some point.

Demisexual can be a sexual orientation on its own or can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demisexual and polysexual (demipolysexual), meaning that when one does experience sexual attraction they can experience it towards multiple genders, but not all genders.

Demisexual may be considered a type of mesi asexual, greysexual attraction, and aliquasexual attraction.

Fraysexual is often described as the "opposite" of demisexual, where sexual attraction fades as a bond is formed. For an individual who experiences demisexual attraction that leads into fraysexual attraction, the term apexsexual may be appropriate.

Counterparts to demisexual for other forms of attraction include: demiromantic, demiplatonic, demisensual, demialterous, and demiflectic.

Bear

In gay culture, a **bear** is a larger and often hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity.

The bear concept can function as an identity or an affiliation, and there is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear. Some bears place importance on presenting a clear masculine image and may disdain or shun men who exhibit effeminacy, while others consider acceptance and inclusivity of all behavioral types to be an important value of the community.
Auroraromantic

**Auroraromantic** is an overlap between genderfluid and (romantically attracted) lesbian. An auroraromantic individual is a genderfluid lesbian who feels dysphoric calling themselves a lesbian when they are exclusively male-aligned and thus uses this label when not using the label lesbian. They could also dislike ever calling themselves a lesbian due to its common female connotations.

It can also refer to a genderfluid individual who is exclusively attracted to binary women, feminine-aligned non-binary individuals, and unaligned or multi-aligned non-binary individuals.
The sexual equivalent is aurorasexual.
