LGBTQA

What does LGBTQA stand for? It is an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, and Allied. We seek to promote a sense of unity and diversity at Simpson College, especially as it pertains to the issue of public acceptance of alternative sexual and gender identities. In addition to providing support and community, it is LGBTQA’s mission to reach out to members of the student and faculty bodies unaccustomed with issues pertaining to the LGBTQA community.

 

We were actively involved in the current election by holding bi-weekly phone banks in conjunction with OneIowa’s Political Action Committee and the Fairness Fund. Student volunteers called and identified supporters committed to social change and to protecting marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples in Iowa. Every month we have a round table discussion about issues in the Women’s Resource Center.

Another event was the Halloween Fashion Show hosted by special guest Drew Riebhoff on October 25th 2010 in the BSC Gallery.
