Drew Hawley LU ’12, has one of his NOH8 photos featured in a recent article about genderqueer as a viable identity in The Wisconsin Gazette. Naomi Waxman LU ’12, was interviewed for the story:
“Personally, I’m always changing,” Waxman said. “How I feel about myself now may not be how I feel about myself in the future.”
GLOW (Gay Lesbian or Whatever) is hosting a “Queer Parenting Talk” in Wriston Auditorium at 8p.m. tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 25). The Queer Parenting Talk will consist of a Lawrence University faculty panel (including Professor Ben Rinehart, Nicole Buenzli of admissions, and Dean Nancy Wall), sharing their experiences about being GLBTQ and parents, too. Students and the members of the community will be able to answer their questions about legal and social circumstances surrounding being a queer parent. Be there! It should be really interesting.
On Tuesday, March 9th at 8pm in the WCC Cinema, Magdalen Hsu-Li will perform at LU. Hsu-Li is an internationally acclaimed bi-sexual, Asian-American, musician, visual artist, speaker and cultural activist. She will be giving a live performance of her album “Smashing the Ceiling” as well as giving her “True Diversity” interactive lecture that addresses how we can begin to raise diversity awareness in ourselves and our community and encouraging the importance of listening to and seeing the world through each other’s ears and eyes.

Kate Bornstein comes to Lawrence University to deliver a talk titled Hello Cruel World: Survival Tips for Outsiders.
Sometimes, whatever it is that gives you the most joy, pleasure or relief also gets you into the deepest trouble, especially when you try to explain it to other people. It could be doing something harmless that you’re not allowed to do, or falling in love with someone that someone else doesn’t want you to love. It could be your weight that makes you an outsider, or your height, the color of your skin, your religion, or the clothes you wear. As harmless as you feel you’re being, people may still exclude you from their lives–sometimes cruelly. This is a 90 minute workshop that offers alternatives to suffering as an outsider. The workshop is based on Kate’s book, Hello, Cruel World. More information at www.hellocruelworld.net.
Kate Bornstein is a gender activist, artist, and author whose books My Gender Workbook and Gender Outlaw revolutionized gender studies as well as trans/gender activism.
Come for this singular, smart, funny, rule-breaking talk.
