Last week, GLOW (Gay Lesbian or Whatever!) and the Gender and Sexuality Center hosted Pride Week, designed to highlight issues and raise awareness regarding sexual orientation.

“I think that unanimously it was probably one of the better or one of the best Pride Weeks we’ve had at St. Olaf,” said GLOW! co-coordinator Steffen Foss ’08. “We had one of the most impressive lineups ever. This was the most packed and most attended pride week we’ve had.”

The week was kicked off with the Drag Ball featuring Gizelle, drag queen extraordinaire on March 1. DJ Shannon Blowtorch from Pi Bar & Restaurant kept the music going through the night as Oles showed up in the finest drag.
