ֱ Our Name
We are using “queer” to represent 2SLGBTQ+ members, and aim to be inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirit, and non-binary persons. We also recognize the importance of identity intersectionality with members of our 2SLGBTQ+ community (race, religion, gender, ability, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, etc.) and strive to reflect this across all aspects of this Chapter actively through diverse representation on our Executive Committee, the nature of our events, and beyond.
