Gay or straight... Windmeyer opens the closet door that traditionally keeps students silenced on issues surrounding sexual orientation. He combines humor and his own personal experience to destroy stereotypes that perpetuate homophobia and sheds light on an often invisible segment of the college community - our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender students. This program aims to educate and enlighten audience members on LGBT issues as well as motivate individuals to take the next step in coming out as visible allies and leaders for all people - including LGBT people. Sponsored by the LGBT Center and Greek Life. For more information please contact Jessica at 507-389-6076 (V), 800-627-3529 or 711 (MRS/TTY) or jessica.flatequal@mnsu.edu.
