There has been much talk of late about issues affecting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Events like Congress’s signing of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act – which bans workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation – and the Transgender Day of Remembrance – which reflects on the lives lost in the transgender community – are making people aware of GLBT problems. Both of these events occurred recently, but did students know about them?
These topics are important to the GLBT community. Unfortunately, they do not seem to be as important to those outside of the community. But they should be because they concern the lives of people who live in the same dorms and sit in the same lecture halls as everyone else on this campus.
