What is this Pride Week crap about anyhow? Straight people don't have a pride week. I began thinking about this question, but then I remembered, it is OK to be different. That is what makes this world interesting, right? Pride Week is a time when the people of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community band together to celebrate their differences.

A Warm Welcome For Boylan, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

It's not often that the word "tolerance" is thought of in conjunction with college students. As accepting as a college campus can be, there still exists a small but vocal group that often sounds out with a collective voice that is louder than the competing voice of reason. It's ironic that an institution harboring so much diversity can be a center for intolerance and the perpetuation of stereotypes of bigotry.

Equality And The Miss Usa Pageant, Rhiannon Sawtelle

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Here is my embarrassing admission for the week: I watched the Miss USA pageant last Sunday. My roommate and I criticized the women, picked our favorites and hoped one of them would trip on stage. We made it through the swimsuit competition, the evening gown walk and held our breaths when the time came for questioning. Miss California, a blonde Barbie® look-alike, took the stage and by the luck of the draw was questioned by Perez Hilton, a gay gossip-queen blogger. He asked her if she believed same-sex marriage should be legalized in every state.
