This semester the LGBT Center is hosting "Film Fridays" every Friday at 1:30pm. Each week we'll watch a film that focuses on LGBT identified characters and discuss the themes presented. This semester's films highlight several topics related to our community including: LGBT people of color, LGBT issues in different countries, trans awareness and gay male masculinity, to name a few. The goal of this film series is to provide an opportunity for our community to learn more about each other and to provide an environment conducive to dialogue on these topics.

The video addresses the persistent discrimination, harassment, and violence people who transgress gender norms face in gender segregated bathrooms. This event aims to raise awareness of why gender neutral bathrooms are a necessity and not an accommodation. Gender neutral bathrooms benefit multiple groups including people with disabilities or chronic illnesses, parents or caregivers accompanying people of different genders, and people who need a private space for a variety of reasons.
