Today is International Coming Out Day! As part of LGBTQ+ History Month, National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is an annual LGBTQ+ awareness day observed on October 11 (October 12 in some parts of the world). The initial idea was grounded in the feminist and queer liberation spirit of the personal being political, and the emphasis on the most basic form of activism being coming out to family, friends and colleagues, and living life as an openly LGBTQ+-identified person.

Thirty years ago, on the anniversary of the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) first observed National Coming Out Day as a reminder that one of our most basic tools is the power of coming out. One out of every two Americans has someone close to them who identifies gay or lesbian. For transgender people, that number is only one in ten. 

Coming out - whether it is as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning - STILL MATTERS. When people know someone who is LGBTQ, they are far more likely to support equality under the law. Beyond that, our stories can be powerful to each other. (Adapted from the Human Rights Campaign, 2018).

Check out this video to understand the coming out process and what you can do as an ally. To get to know a more extensive allyship skills, please check out our SafeZone Allyship Workshops. For other general LGBTQ+ related questions, please contact Carlos Turcios, Coordinator for Student Diversity and Inclusion at carlos6@umbc.edu or lgbtq@umbc.edu.

At the last Meeting of the Graduate Senate on Monday October 1, we discussed a potential new Initiative the GSA could undertake: An Emergency Loan Initiative. While we are far from having all of the details, we envision this initiative as a mechanism that could provide temporary financial support to graduate students in times of financial need.

UConn has such a program that might serve as a template for ours: https://dos.uconn.edu/short-term-emergency-loans-stelf/

Brown also has a similar program:https://www.brown.edu/academics/gradschool/financing-support/emergency-loan-programs

We are looking to have a group of 3-5 students interested in pursuing the details of this initiative in concert with the Graduate Senate.

If there is enough interest, a committee may be formed at the next Meeting of the Graduate Senate and can provide compensation for up to 5 active students.

If you are interested or would like to offer any comment, leave us a comment below or email us directly at gsa@umbc.edu.

Have a question you want to explore related to a social issue? Apply to be an Alternative Spring Break leader and develop and facilitate a trip around that question in Baltimore City!

Trips have explored a variety of questions, such as:

  • How are food disparities created, perpetuated, and challenged in Baltimore City? 
  • What is the relationship between growth in Baltimore and the quality of life for disenfranchised residents? What can be done to address community displacement?
  • How do people who have been formerly incarcerated transition back to living and working in Baltimore City? What can be done to support that transition? 
  • How do healthcare disparities affect Baltimoreans’ sexual health and healthy relationships?
  • How do individuals with disabilities experience social injustices? What can be done to address this issue? 
  • What are the difficulties and barriers that people experiencing homelessness face in Baltimore and what can be done to mitigate those issues? 

Trip leaders can choose from those questions or propose additional ones.

All undergraduate students are invited to apply. Leaders need to be motivated, committed, creative, and detailed-oriented to plan and lead a high quality trip. Preferred but not required: Applicants will have participated in a previous ASB trip or similar extended experiential learning program.

Applications are due October 1st.

For questions, please email Romy Hübler (romy.huebler@umbc.edu).
