LGBTQ+ History Month 2022

Join us monthly as we celebrate a different community on campus. UWL Celebration Months amplifies voices from the many vibrant cultures and communities on campus. Join us throughout the year as we celebrate our friends and neighbors and gain a deeper understanding of our community.

The purpose of this project is to give others on our campus, in the surrounding community, and anyone that visits the UWL website a chance to learn more about different experiences and perspectives of the community that we are celebrating on any given month.

Allies and advocates are invited to share their stories.

Pride/LGBTQIA+ History Month is a time to celebrate the strength of the queer community, and a reminder of the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead. I cherish my beautiful fiancée and amazing queer friends. <3 Love is love is love is love!!!!

"Queer existence is resistance; it provides radical potential for rethinking what gender is and why it plays the role that it does in society. And that potential could give freedom to us all." -Harley Wishart
