The LLCC Gay-Straight Alliance is hosting a speakOUT open discussion on issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community today in the Robert H. Stephens Room from noon to 1 p.m. There will be an open mic at this event for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to discuss their experiences. It is also a great place to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community. The goals are to provide a cathartic and healing experience and to open dialogue and discussion for understanding and support. This event is open to students, faculty and staff.
