Greetings, queers!
Phoenix Pride 2010 is upon us, and we hope you'll join in the festivities with us this weekend. Read on for the details.
LGBTQ Coalition members who would like to head to the parade/festival as a group should meet at the University and Rural light rail stop on the ASU-Tempe campus at 8:45 am. Please be on time so that we can leave together as a group at 9:00 sharp.
Dear ASU LGBTQ Coalition Members,
I am writing this message in the hopes that you have already voted in the USG Presidential run-off election. However, if for some reason you have yet to do so, I highly encourage you to vote immediately since the polls close at 12:00 tonight!
If you have yet to vote go to ASU.edu/VoteNow in order to cast your vote!
Though the LGBTQ Coalition has decided not to officially endorse any particular candidate, the following student leaders in the LGBTQ Coalition have endorsed Brendan Corrigan for USG President:
Please attend the LGBTQ Coalition's meeting this Thursday and meet the candidates running for offices within your Undergraduate Student Government. There will be candidates for Executive office as well as USG Senate.
The Facebook event page can be found here.
This is an exciting and important election, as some of the candidates have specifically included our community within their platforms!
Unfortunately, our office (MU 340) is closed this week (3/1-3/6)for some renovations.
Today, November 19th, the LGBTQ Coalition is commemorating Transgender Day of Remembrance.

LGBTQ Coalition members,
A major step toward our goal of establishing a dedicated LGBT Community Center on campus is about to be taken. This week and next week Student Engagement will be holding three open forums for the LGBT Specialist position. Attending these open forums is the best way for students and community members to become acquainted with the three finalists who have a possibility of serving as an advocate for the Queer community at ASU.
Here are the details:
