Shared Calendar for Queer Studies Program, LGBTA and CSGR
The calendar below has events associated with the Queer Studies Program, as well as events by LGBTA, CSGR, Gender & Women's Studies, and the Women's Resource and Research Center. This provides you with a calendar that brings together Queer/LGBT/ Gender related events in our campus community. We have also included the calendar from the "No on 8" campaign so students can consider volunteering or attending events on that issue.
The Queer Studies Program views Prop 8 as a discriminatory proposition that took away the constitutional right to marry from same sex couples in California. While we recognize and respect the diverse critiques of marriage as an institution, we see the passage of Prop 8 as motivated by homophobia and encourage its repeal. We also encourage protestors against Prop 8 not to target specific ethnic communities, but to recognize that large numbers of Californians of all ethnicities voted both for and against Prop 8.
Below are links to video shot by QS faculty and students from the wave of protests against Prop 8.
