Coming Out Week, Part 2!

Hello, Triskuits, and happy National Coming Out Day!

Keep an eye out for some more events as our (pretty much two-week-long) Coming Out Week continues! Tomorrow the 12th will be TransBrandeis' first monthly meeting of the year. We'll be meeting from 230 until 330 in the conference room of the Intercultural Center (located in East). Join us for a general meet and greet, along with discussions about what you'd like to see for the year!

Make sure to head back to the ICC on Thursday for another great discussion with SASS from 300 to 400, and then that night, come up to the Trisk Lounge for our general Trisk meeting from 800 until 900. This week's meeting is about sharing coming out stories. Come to listen, be supportive, and if you feel comfortable, share a story of your own.

Also, Team, it's not an event brought to you by Trisk, but you may also want to check out the WGS Department's speaker Lissa V. Young, a 16-year veteran of the US army; she'll be speaking about Don't Ask, Don't Tell today at 400 in the International Lounge in Usdan. Click here for the fancy flier!

Once again, HAPPY COMING OUT DAY!
Stay strong, Team!
Much love,
Triskelion

Candlelight Vigil TONIGHT

To our fellow queer and allied Brandeisians,

Today, Monday October 4th, is Brandeis' kick-off to Coming Out Week 2010. We welcome you to a week (and more) full of events to celebrate our identities and ourselves. We decided to start Coming Out Week today because it is National Suicide Prevention Day.

Our first event will be a candlelight vigil in memory of all those who have taken their lives for reasons related to their non-normative identity. There will also be special reference given to those in the U.S. who have taken their lives this school year. This vigil will be held at 5:30pm, at the Peace Circle outside of Usdan. We hope that you'll come to show your support and remembrance.

Our second event will be after the vigil; from 6:00 until 9:00, we'll be making this year's Coming Out Quilt squares in the ICC Swig Lounge. Come design a square (or two, or three!) and watch the movie "Kissing Jessica Stein" with us if you want to hang out afterward. Drop by anytime between 6:00 and 9:00!

We hope that you'll also join us tomorrow for Year Abroad, Queer Abroad. Panelists coming from a variety of host countries and a mix of identities will be talking about their experiences as queer people abroad. The panel goes from 7:00pm to 8:00pm in the ASAC Atrium (in the building next to the Heller School). Come with questions for the Q&A!

Keep checking back for more Coming Out Week events, and remember, you are loved!

Happy Coming Out Week!
Much love,
Triskelion
