Title
Loyola Phoenix: Group aims to raise awareness of GLBT issues
Description
An article by Monica Hortobagyi discusses the Rainbow Connection, an organization at Loyola that aimed to create a haven from discrimination "for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered community." They established three new programs at Loyola to serve "both homosexual and heterosexual communities at Loyola." Safe Space, a nationally recognized program, provided education and awareness of queer issues led by advisers, who were trained faculty, staff, or students. One of the topics they focused on was the legal status of gay and lesbian people in states across the U.S.
Rainbow Connection also offered bi-weekly support meetings to help students belonging to the GLBT community, as well as class panels that could be invited to speak for an audience.
