For more than 33 years, the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Union has been the name of the organization at UCF whose mission is to achieve equality and fair treatment for all persons regardless of sexual orientation, according to the group’s Web site.
That name has now officially been changed to Equal.
“We wanted to change the name so we could include transgendered students, students that were questioning their sexuality and straight allies,” said Equal President Eden Wetherell. “We didn’t want to seem that we were being exclusive to gays and not inclusive of all other people.”
