“LGBT People under the Nazi Regime” by  Dr. Warren J. Blumenfeld

7:00pm, Great Hall, Memorial Union

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.

Identified Line-Up

12-2:00pm, Outside Curtiss Hall on Central Campus
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?

Bowling

7:00pm, Underground, Memorial Union

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’ Rally and March

6:00pm, Memorial Union West Terrace

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.

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!
