Welcome to the Iowa State University Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Ally Alliance!! We’re very excited to welcome our older members and the newcomers back for the Spring 2012 semester! Please join us Wednesdays at 7:30 in 268 Carver starting January 18!!!
This year, the LGBTA Alliance is celebrating Pride Week April 5-13.
Dr. Haldeman is a counseling psychologist who focuses on the LGBT community.
$8 for general public, $5 for card-carrying members

Portion of the proceeds from the Drag Show will be donated to Youth & Shelter Services, Inc. There will also be a collection box for donations.
The Nazis gained control of the German Reichstag (or Parliament) in 1933, and soon thereafter, Adolph Hitler was named chancellor of Germany. Less than one month later, all LGBT organizations were banned, books were set ablaze, and suspected gay and bisexual men and trans men were rounded up, interrogated, and eventually incarcerated — many mutilated and murdered.
This unique and informative slide presentation places the Nazi atrocities against LGBT people in historical perspective and in the context of a concerted and violent campaign against other groups targeted by the Nazi regime.

Many people will stand in a line in front of Curtiss Hall on Central Campus. Each of them will be holding a piece of paper that has their name on one side, and their sexual orientation and/or gender identity on the other. Participants (usually strangers passing by) will be asked to go through the line of people and guess their identities. Is it possible to correctly guess how someone identifies based on their appearance? What assumptions do we make about people in regard to their unique sexual orientation and/or gender identity?

Games: $3.00 for ISU students $3.50 for general public
Shoes: $2.00 for ISU students $2.50 for general public
Take Back the Night is an internationally recognized event with rich history, occurring worldwide since the 1970’s. The annual Take Back the Night rally and march at Iowa State University is organized with the purpose of unifying people in an awareness of violence against the people we know and love. You are invited to join us at the rally and march to take a stand against violence and make the night safe for everyone.
The LGBTAA cabinet members will not be in the office for the remainder of the week. The majority of us will be attending MBLGTACC, in An Arbor Michigan. If you are in need of alliance assistance, feel free to E-mail Amy Boitnott at Boitnott@iastate.edu. She will be on campus and would be happy to assist!

Hey everyone!
Welcome/welcome back to ISU for another semester. I’m pleased to announce our meetings are starting up again TODAY in Martin 2121 but for today only our meeting is starting at 8 instead of 7.30. This is because the Alliance has joined forces with the LGBTSS and DLP to throw an Ice Cream Social from 6-8 near the Student Services building next to Pearson. We’re looking forward to either meeting you or catching up with you!
We have changed phone numbers for reaching the Alliance cabinet, it is now 515-344-4478. It will be updated on our website as soon as we get in touch with our web master.
Thanks to Dan we now have a slide show of pictures from the past year’s events! We are proud to show them and we are proud of the ground we have covered in making ISU safer for everyone.

I would like to take a moment and thank everyone who worked so hard this past academic year and brought us to the level we are at now. We could not have done it without you! But now we can look forward to the future and new friends and new experiences.
