This past week was Rainbow Week at RCN.
Rainbow week happens every week for a year and is organized by the Gender and Sexuality EAC (GAS.) This week is made to celebrate, discuss and debate on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues. It is a very good chance to ask some questions, that might normally be hard to ask, and to see the different views from cultures, religions and personalities.
This is the activities:
Saturday: Part(ga)y - the Saturday night party had a gay-theme
Sunday: Circle Discussion on Homophobic Bullying
Monday: Screening of the movie "Milk" in the Auditorium
Tuesday: The Gay Pride Parade - parading to dinner with colors, flags, music ect.
Wednesday: Ask-a-Gay and Gender-Neutral blind date - a blind date, where people were set up randomly, some in same-sex couples, others mixed. Ask-a-Gay was a Questions and Answer session, with a panel of LGBT-panel trying to answer.
Thursday: Ice cream Social
Friday: World Today: Religion and Homosexuality + Movie Marathon
I unfortunately only attended the Partay and the Ask-a-Gay session, because of EAC's and other activities clashing, but I'm sure it was a great week and I know that at least the Ask-a-Gay was a success.
