LGBTOUT
LGBTOUT stands for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Trans People of the University of Toronto. We are an officially recognized group at the U of T for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, queer students and others who are marginalized on the basis of their sexual orientations and/or gender identifications. We have been fighting for queer rights and visibility for more than 30 years!
LGBTOUT offers spaces to explore our diverse identities both socially and politically, where people can develop a wide range of skills and learn more about our communities.
WHAT LGBTOUT DOES:
LGBTOUT works to improve the lives of LGBTQ people on campus and in our community by:
* Ensuring that our drop-in centre is a comfortable and inviting space staffed by friendly and well-informed volunteers
* Working in solidarity with other campus groups fighting oppression like the Women's Centre, the Sexual Education Centre, the Graduate Students Union and OPIRG
* Maintaining connections with other LGBTQ organizations, like RyePride, TBLGAY at York, the Toronto Bisexual Network, Supporting Our Youth and others
* Organizing social events including Homohops, Hussihops, readings, film screenings, discussion groups, bingo nights, boys' and grrls' nights out and other fun stuff
* Undertaking political actions including kiss-ins, demonstrations and poster campaigns to raise visibility of queer issues on campus
* Representing the interests of LGBTQ students on and to other campus committees and organizations
* Educating people through panel discussions, awareness events and by just being ourselves
