GLBTQ Awareness Week (Fall 2007)

Purpose
GLBTQA Awareness Week is centered around the National Coming Out Day on October 11th every year. It has been established to bring the GLBTQA community into the mainstream Loyola community and let people see what the culture is really like.

The goals of the week are to:

  • Provide the Loyola community with an understanding of the discrimination underrepresented by the GLBTQ community.
  • Educate the Loyola community on GLBTQ issues.
  • Provide a safe and supporting environment for people of all groups to discuss and interact with each other.

UIC Illinois Room

This is the largest annual event for young LGBTQA adults in Chicago, boasting over 700 students in attendance at last year's ball.

“Set in the early 1900s, a small Mississippi town finds itself in the midst of understanding the recent arrival of a mysterious Northern visitor. At the same time, a young African-American boy is in search of others like himself and making sense of his existence. Decorated with Jukebox joints and traveling circus' sideshows, this show not only reclaims a classic fairy tale, but also ultimately allows the audience to understand a young boy's search for self-acceptance.".
