Shades: Crip Camp Documentary

Join us for our Shades event from 5 pm to 7 pm in the North Ballroom, located on the second floor of the Student Union, and watch the notorious documentary about summer camp for teens with disabilities. Shades is a discussion-based event series for all UIS students, faculty, and staff. The goal of this series is to create a safe and affirming space through which we can explore topics of identity and bring together QTPOC (Queer & Trans* People of Color) students and allies on campus. Light snacks and refreshments are provided.

Fluidity Support Group

Fluidity is a weekly support group where students across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and allies discuss topics relevant to their experiences including campus, community and interpersonal situations. Students are able to participate in Fluidity as needed and does not require consistent, continuous attendance. Fluidity provides a safe and private space with peers for those exploring their sexual and/or gender identity. The group allows advocacy for its members and is a judgment-free zone. Fluidity will occur on Mondays from 3pm-4pm.

While we learn, GSSS will be providing a craft where you can create your own drag persona! This is in preparation for the drag show later in the day, so keep an eye out for that. LGBTea offers a comfortable, accepting, and non-judgmental social atmosphere for students with marginalized gender and/or sexual identities and allied peers.
