SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Book Club: "Marsha"
DESCRIPTION:For May\, we will read Marsha\, by Tourmaline. Marsha P. Johnson\, a legendary Black transgender activist\, embodied both the beauty and the struggle of the early gay rights movement. Her work sparked the progress we see today\, yet there has never been a definitive record of her life—until now. Tourmaline’s biography finally brings this iconic figure to life. We vividly meet Marsha as both an activist and artist. Marsha’s story promises to inspire readers to live as their most liberated\, unruly\, vibrant\, and whole selves. \nThe LGBTQIA+ Book Club meets once a month throughout the academic semester. It provides a thoughtful and engaging environment where participants can delve into nuanced discussions\, reflect on complex themes\, and connect with fellow students\, staff\, and faculty. Our selections span various genres and topics\, ensuring that each meeting presents an opportunity to broaden our understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences and narratives.

SUMMARY:2nd Annual CUNY-Wide Vogue Ball: Tailoring Black Style
DESCRIPTION:The Brooklyn College LGBTA and the LGBTQ+ Resource Center will be hosting our 2nd Annual CUNY-Wide Vogue Ball.

RSVP does not guarantee entry after 6:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:5th Annual CUNY LGBTQI+ Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme\, Beyond the Rainbow: Centering Marginalized Voices in the LGBTQI+ Community\, invites us to look past surface-level representation and visibility to engage in deeper\, more meaningful dialogue about equity\, inclusion\, and intersectionality within our community. While the rainbow flag symbolizes unity and pride\, it also challenges us to recognize that not all experiences within the LGBTQI+ spectrum are equally seen or valued. \nBeyond the Rainbow encourages participants to explore the diverse identities and lived experiences that shape our collective story\, including those of transgender and nonbinary individuals\, queer people of color\, people with disabilities\, immigrants\, and others whose voices are often pushed to the margins. Through workshops\, panels\, and storytelling\, we aim to amplify these perspectives\, spark honest conversations\, and strengthen solidarity across differences.

SUMMARY:LGBTQI+ Book Club: "Passing"
DESCRIPTION:For February\, we will be reading Passing by Nella Larsen\, an iconic book from the Harlem Renaissance. Irene Redfield is a Black woman living an affluent\, comfortable life with her husband and children in the thriving neighborhood of Harlem in the 1920s. When she reconnects with her childhood friend Clare Kendry\, who is similarly light-skinned\, Irene discovers that Clare has been passing for a white woman after severing ties to her past\, even hiding the truth from her racist husband. First published in 1929\, Larsen’s brilliant examination of the various ways in which we all seek to “pass” is as timely as ever. \nThe LGBTQIA+ Book Club meets once a month throughout the academic semester. It provides a thoughtful and engaging environment where participants can delve into nuanced discussions\, reflect on complex themes\, and connect with fellow students\, staff\, and faculty. Our selections span various genres and topics\, ensuring that each meeting presents an opportunity to broaden our understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences and narratives.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Resource Center: Gender Affirming Makeup Looks with Starr in celebration of Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this workshop to celebrate Black History Month. Starr will focus on a specific makeup looks to provide gender-euphoric results!  \nThe path to understanding ourselves as trans and non-binary is often riddled with physical and social “dysphoria.” Dysphoria is the opposite of euphoria and is often extremely painful\, as we experience a distancing from our own being. The reasons for this are many\, such as prevailing social gender stereotypes. Using makeup can be extremely affirming to all gender identities. Attendees will have an opportunity to try out the looks and take photographs in our photobooth. Lunch will be served. Check out our Instagram (@lgbtqcenter_bc) for updates on the location.

SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Transgender individuals\, especially trans women of color\, face disproportionately high rates of discrimination\, marginalization\, and violence. To bring awareness to this ongoing crisis and to honor those who have lost their lives\, we invite the Brooklyn College community to join us for Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil. This vigil is not only a solemn commemoration of the lives cut short by transphobic violence but also a powerful reminder of the work that remains to be done in advocating for trans rights and justice. \nThe vigil will begin in front of Boylan Hall and travel across campus where participants will carry a large trans flag in solidarity. We’ll settle around the lily pond to read aloud the names of those we’ve lost\, ensuring their lives are not forgotten. The walk will conclude at the LGBTQ+ Resource Center\, where refreshments and support will be provided as the community gathers to reflect\, mourn\, and commit to creating a safer\, more inclusive future for all.
