We are so close to reaching our goal for the LGBTQ+ Culture Center Renovation Project. As we close out 2023, please consider supporting my center with a donation. Every bit helps!!!

LGBTQ+ Culture Center Renovation Project For some IU Bloomington students, the LGBTQ+ Culture Center on campus is the first place they’ve ever felt at home. When they’re here, we want them to feel welcome, supported, and connected. Unfortunately, our current facility hinders our ability to provide the best experience for students.

Join us next Tuesday, October 31st, 4-6pm for our Halloween Party!!

We will have a costume contest, an alien scavenger hunt, and more activities, along with a hot coca bar and snacks!!
Let's do this.

Our October Q***r Dialogue Space is next Tuesday! The theme this time around will be “Building a Stronger LGBTQ+ Community”. We can’t wait to see you there!

We're excited to celebrate Pride with y'all! See you Saturday

Heads up for next week!

You are invited to a book signing and mixer with Jim Fielding, a proud IU alum, founding member of the IU Q***r Philanthropy Circle, and author of All Pride, No Ego: A Q***r Executive's Journey to Living and Leading Authentically on August 23, 1-3 p.m., at the LGBTQ+ Culture Center.

Readers will find a call to action for authentic servant leadership that encourages people to own their truth and bring out the best in their teams. The first twenty-five students attending the Book Signing and Mixer will receive a free copy of the Jim Fielding memoir. Don't miss out on this powerful story of genuine leadership and self-discovery. Learn more about the memoir at AllPrideNoEgo.com.

See below for an opportunity to participate in a research study:

Hello! My name is Tyler Kane, and I am a doctoral candidate in Counseling Psychology at Oklahoma State University. As part of my dissertation, I will be profiling minority stress, resilience, and patient-physician relationships among transgender and non-binary persons who are either currently accessing or have, in the past, accessed gender-affirmative medical treatment. Participation in the survey is reserved for those who meet the following criteria:
· You must be 18 years of age or older
· You must reside in the United States
· You must identify as transgender or non-binary
· You have had at least one consultation with a physician concerning medical interventions for gender affirmation (including, but not limited to, surgical consultations, discussion concerning hormonal treatments, etc.)
If you choose to participate, you will complete a 20 – 30-minute survey (linked below) asking about your experiences in this treatment, along with questions concerning your perspectives on your physical and mental health. You can also access the survey using the QR code in the image below. If you have any further questions, feel free to email the project lead at [email protected]. Thank you again for your input and time!
