Lane Community College queer straight alliance is dedicated to creating alliances between the local queer population and its straight allies.

The primary objective of the QSA include: educating Lane Community College and community groups about homophobia, heterosexism, and queer experiences; raising awareness about anti-queer legislation at the state and local levels; providing a safe space for open discussions about sexuality and gender issues; and providing queer-positive outreach to local high schools and community organizations.

So whether you identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersexed, Straight, Queer and Non-Queer All Are Welcome.

We're a Group of LCC students dedicated to creating alliances between local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Straight Ally, Intersex, and Poly communities and mobilizing these groups for positive social change in order to end discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation.

Please feel free to stop on by and say hi, relax, have fun, stay awhile and meet some new people. There is always something exciting going on.

2008 term, we meet every Tuesday at 4:00 in the ASLCC office (LCC Building 1, on the second floor across from the elevators), but because our meeting times change every term, contact our president (Trillium 541-510-6540) and our group email lane-qsa@googlegroups.com.
