QPenn, Penn’s annual LGBT pride and awareness week, kicked off this past Thursday and will continue with events and speakers for the community until next Sunday, March 30.
The week is designed to celebrate the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community as well as raise awareness of the issues it faces, said organizers. It is the main event on campus for the LGBT community and its effect is felt by all involved, said College sophomore and QPenn co-chair, Brittany Binler.
This year’s theme, “The Q and U” was chosen to emphasize the fact that LGBT issues affect everyone in the community, even though many are not aware of it.
