Pride Alliance to host panel on campus, community life
The Skidmore Pride Alliance will host a panel discussion at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, in Davis Auditorium, Palamountain Hall, at which a panel of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning) students and other members of the Skidmore community will talk about their experiences at the college and in the community.
The students also will discuss the "It Gets Better" project - a recent attempt to reach out to young LGBTQ individuals, offering them a measure of reassurance and hope in a world that all too often can be violent and threatening.
Free and open to the public, the Skidmore panel is billed as "A Time for Respect-A Time for Action," in the wake of the tragic suicide of Rutgers University first-year student Tyler Clementi, who was the target of cyber bullying.
