LGBTQ Caucus at Virginia Tech

LGBTQ Caucus at Virginia Tech The LGBTQ+ Caucus at Virginia Tech is committed to advancing equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their families.

The caucus seeks to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals across the New River Valley. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Caucus at Virginia Tech formed in 1992 as an affiliate of the Women’s Network. The purpose of the Caucus is to improve the working and learning environment for LGBTQ+ members of Virginia Tech and the surrounding community. Membership is open to all Virginia Te

ch faculty, staff, graduate students, and individuals who support the objectives of the Caucus. By bringing concerns about retention, classroom climate, or other issues to the attention of the administration, providing educational programs to the larger community, and partnering with other campus groups like the LGBTQ+ Resource Center, HokiePRIDE, TransSpace, and others, to host public events, the Caucus aims to foster an atmosphere of understanding at the University, thereby improving productivity and quality of life at Virginia Tech for all employees and students. The Caucus works closely with various offices across campus to plan programs and increase awareness of diversity at Virginia Tech. We are also an active participant in the Virginia Tech Commission on Equal Opportunity and Diversity, with an appointed representative serving the caucus constituents. We also sponsor social gatherings such as the monthly Caucus Lunch and work with HokiePRIDE at Virginia in its monthly Lunch & Learn Q*nnection Series to foster community-wide connection and support for members of the different groups that make up the LGBTQ+ community at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, and the surrounding communities. Other activities sponsored by the Caucus include the Lavender Achievement Ceremony, LGBTQ+ History Month, Queer in Appalachia, and Pride Week.

Pride began as a protest led by Black q***r and trans women and trans women of color that fought for the rights we enjoy today. We take the month of June to celebrate the progress we have achieved but also to amplify their voices in the struggles we still fight.

One of the central figures of these protests was Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans woman of color that was a drag performer and a protector of homeless and struggling LGBTQ+ youth in New York. Read more about Marsha at https://www.outhistory.org/exhibits/show/tgi-bios/marsha-p-johnson%20

Please note: her given name is included on this article. We include this information because it may be concerning that her given name (also known as a dead name) is included in an article about her life.

Happy Pride Month, y'all! A reminder that you matter, your identity is valid, and you deserve to be loved and supported!
