With
a surprisingly successful year behind us, we at the University of Tulsa Bisexual
Lesbian Gay & Transgender Alliance plan to do even more this time around
to ensure a fun, productive, and active year. In recognition of our generosity
at last years Do Ask, Do Tell fundraising event in allowing OSU SODA our
allotment of the money raised, this year the planners of this successful event
are organizing another party for the month of October, whose proceeds will benefit
our very own TU group. We hope to make Coming-Out Week, also in
October, a more active project this time, and we shall be planning the events
for these few days in our weekly meetings. A film festival is in the works,
possibly for this week and possibly as a regular activity. Perhaps the most
successful event of last season was our Spring Gayla, also known as our annual
Gay Prom. We werent sure it was going to happen, even up to the last minute,
but with a turnout larger than expected and a night to remember atop the luxurious
Doubletree at Warren Place, we are sure to draw an even larger crowd this year.
We shall work out the details of the Prom in our
meetings as well. The last event of the year was the Diversity Day Parade last
June. Several members of the group from TU as well as friends and supporters
marched, and we all had a blast. Again, we hope to march even more of us next
June in the interest of promoting equal rights for all humans, regardless of
sexual orientation. We encourage all who are interested in the cause of human
equality to attend our meetings and help us plan these and other activities
that help promote it. And thank you current members for a successful year!
