INTERSEXTIONS

(posted by Frank Tate, '09)
INTERSEXTIONS will be having its first meeting of the semester next week on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 7:00pm in the new LGBTQ Center (CC 235)! This meeting’s topic will be on how different social groups (both on and off-campus) unknowingly and sub-consciously maintain the standards of homophobic and normative spaces.

We will also be providing dinner for this event from a local restaurant. Therefore, we'd like for interested participants to RSVP to Frank Tate (frtate@vassar.edu) by Monday, October 13 at 12noon! You can look forward to an interesting conversation among a great group of people!
Information about INTERSEXTIONS:
At Vassar, INTERSEXTIONS has been formed and reformed in many different capacities. The name "INTERSEXTIONS" was coined in 2005 by a group of LGBTQ students of color who wanted to create a space that would exist to discuss issues of intersectionality, specifically that of race, gender, and sexuality, to center the experiences of those who are both racial and sexual minorities. INTERSEXTIONS is not only a space of intellectual and political exchange, but is also a social space that is both fun and supportive. Allies are welcome.
