Auburn Gay-Straight Alliance

AGSA Pride Week

Posted by Frank | Filed under Uncategorized

Hi all,

AGSA is excited to announce it’s first-ever Pride Week starting October 26 and lasting through October 30. All of the event days are subject to change and these changes will be noted on the website, but right now, they are as posted below.

Monday, October 26

Come Out and join the members of the Auburn Gay Straight Alliance (AGSA) as we piece together portions of our quilt of tolerance, which you can leave messages of hope, courage, admiration or anything Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) related that will make it to the final quilt. We hope the quilt grows to immense proportions as the day progresses, so come and spend some time with us as we kick off Auburn University’s first ever Pride Week!

Tuesday, October 27

Come out and learn more about why the straight allies (aka “strallies”) are an integral part of helping with gay-straight alliances, especially here at Auburn. We will be passing out Skittles and letting people show their pride (gay or straight) through creating their own stickers with fun messages of support or pride. So, come out and have a fun learning experience while getting free stuff.

Wednesday, October 28

As part of our regular Auburn Gay Straight Alliance meeting, we will be having a discussion about the coming out process and why pride is so important to the LGBT community. Afterwards, we will go out to Niffer’s to relax and have a good time.

Thursday, October 29

Join the members of Auburn Gay Straight Alliance as we hold a rally and let Auburn’s campus know all about the LGBT and straight ally presence that it holds. Come out and show your support as speakers talk about coming out, pride, and LGBT topics as they engage everyone (that includes you.)

Friday, October 30

Come one, come all to the excitement that will be Auburn Gay Straight Alliance’s Under the Mask. The theme for the gala will be Carnevil and people are encouraged to come dressed any interesting (and odd) way, whether it be costume, strange or even formal wear. In addition, Blame Sydney will be performing for us and there might even be other fun treats in store for the guests. There will be a $2 cover and all proceeds will go to benefit The Point Foundation, and there will be free Niffer’s food provided, as well. So, bring some friends for a fun time.

More information regarding each event will be posted as time draws nearer, so please check back soon!
