Hi,

I'm the secretary of RHA at Longwood University, in Virginia.. At the beginning of this school year we did a fundraiser selling hutches - we had flyers go out in the new student packets and sold some on-site.

Long story short, we're looking for suggestions on how to do this fundraiser better, if any of you have done it with your RHA.. and also if anyones from VA if they know of any companies that do this b/c we want to switch companies.

Thanks :)

National Coming Out Day
Coalition of LBGT Student Organizations Announces:
National Coming Out Day 2005

(Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI) - MSU's celebration of National Coming Out Day begins on Thursday, October 7th, and continues through Sunday, October 16th. National Coming Out Day is Tuesday, October 11th, the anniversary of the 1987 march on Washington, DC, and display of the NAMES AIDS quilt. National Coming Out Day activities seek to further awareness and acceptance of lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender people. On the MSU campus, events have grown from a day of events honoring the lives and accomplishments of LBGT persons to a full week of rallies, workshops, social events, and more.

This year, the week will begin with Moral Obligations, a play written by Todd Heywood and presented by Sunsets with Shakespeare. Inspired by the tragic murder of Matthew Shepherd, Moral Obligations is a powerful and moving performance illustrating violence towards the LGBTA community.
There will be several workshops and discussions during the week. In recognition of Indigenous People's Day, a discussion on Two Spirit and LBGT identities in Native American culture will be held on Monday. On Thursday, participants can savor trans tacos and genderqueer guacamole while testing their knowledge at the Question Gender Quiz Bowl. All are encouraged to attend. The LBGT rights movement wouldn't be where it is today without the 'A'. The LGBT Ally "Safe Zone" Training program is designed to teach people how they can be an effective ally to the LBGT Community.

We are excited to welcome Colin Kennedy Donovon as our keynote presenter for the week. Colin describes eirself as "an anti-racist Irish/English/German/Spanish "white" physically (dis)abled genderqueer trans activist, performer, educator and writer." On Tuesday, Colin will be hosting an Interactive, Theater Based Anti-Racism Workshop followed by a reading and discussion in the evening.

A variety of social events are also planned for the week. Students won't need to settle for fast food on Sunday when the cafeterias are closed. The BBQ at the Rock will offer fantastic food and plenty of fun. On Saturday, the annual Fruit Bowl queer sporting event continues this year. Spartans and participants from Lansing Community College, Eastern Michigan University, Western Michigan University, Central Michigan University, our friendly rival, the University of Michigan are all invited! We'll have friendly competition, and of course, fruit. Everyone can enjoy a cup of coffee and the creative works of your peers at the annual Poetry Slam on Friday at Espresso Royale. This is a great opportunity to share your work or experience what others have written. Closing out the week on the second Saturday, the Sweetest Day for LBGTA Dance this year will feature homecoming court, a corsage craft and DJ Aviance. This October, MSU will continue its 150th anniversary celebration with the Sesquicentennial Parade. Come march with MSU LBGTA organizations and our fabulous float!
LBGTA information will be offered in the Wells hall area on Monday and Wednesday. Stonewall Democrats will be holding a table on Monday to answer your questions. National Coming Out Day event information and copies of the new Q*News "Tricks And Treats" Issue will be available for pick up both days. In celebration of National Coming Out Day, the work of queer photographer and MSU graduate Nip Dendron will be on display in Barista Cafe as part of their "Art on the Wall" series.

I already have an arsenal of examples and ideas, but it still doesn't seem like enough. :)

PLEASE send your ideas, photos, or other examples to jess_amazing at hotmail *dot* com, or comment below with them. I would much appreciate it, and will even credit you if you give me your name/school!

Thanks all! I can't wait to see what creative things you've come up with!!!

As moderator, I'm finally getting around to updating the interests and what not of this page. If you would like links to your school's rha page, let me know. I would like to use this journal to promote events too, so if you want them posted in a some what timely fashion, email me them. Perhaps even access to resources, ambitious perhaps, but I think this could be more than what it is.

On a complete side note, I urge MSU's RHA not to scrap their constitution, a lot of work was put into that and it is a solid document, throwing it away would be insulting.

In the Spirit of my old seat for BRIGHT at MSU, I present the following.

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid becasue they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if Gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire counrty. That's why we have only one religion in America.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

10. Children can never suceed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or longer lifespans.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "seperate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Seperate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as seperate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
