Once Again I am lost. I have seen nothing related to gay/lesbian issues and media lately. Ususally I'd be hearing things right and left. My parents usually bring up news about it they they read online or in the paper. My friends bring things to my attention that they've seen of heard on t.v. But I have nothing and it makes me sad because I like to consider myself somebody who knows a lot about gay/lesbian issues. Maybe I'm in a slum right now of the media world is too busy talking about Britneys kids or Nicoles pregnancy to talk about anything worthy of me blogging about. I feel I'm letting my blog down. My hopes are that next week brings news and if not I will make some of my own.
ACTUALLY, speaking of news of my own - I'm thinking of starting a Gay, Lesbian,Bisexual, Transgender Alliance.Group here at Central. I made a guidance appointment the other day to get some more courses for next semester and to talk about how I might go about getting my idea off the ground BUT unfortunatly my chaotic timetable had to come first and foremost and took up the entire half hour appointment so I will have to make another appointment to discuss my idea.
The idea to have a GLBT, came to me last year while I was working on a math survey and had to pick a survey topic. My survey of a whole 7 PEOPLE concluded that there was enough support to have one ( those surveyed were A( all straight B) all bored and C) all shocked that their assumed straight class mate was talking about starting a club for ''dykes and fags''. Since then it's something that I've kept tucked in the back of my mind. I want a GLBT at Central so bad so this year I'm making it my goal to get some type of group formed before I leave this building for good.
So I pose this question to you, my blog readers, would you support a GLBT here at Central ? I'm not saying you have to join or even get excitied about it ? It's just be nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks this is a good idea and that everybody doesn't hate my ideas.
I leave you today with that question.

Christine, it's so appropriate that you posted this on October 11, which is National Coming Out Day, an internationally-observed civil awareness day for coming out and discussion about LGBT issues (this description taken from the Wikipedia page on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Coming_Out_Day)
Some good (and very recent) videos can be found about the day can be found here: http://www.outzonetv.com/comingout/
Also, have a look at the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Ally Week is next week so could be a great place to start.
