History of the LGBC The Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual Collec- tive (LGBC) is an alliance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender commu- nity of Douglas College. We support the diversity of human sexuality. Racism, sexism, classism and heterosexism are components that de- stroy our society. One of the mandates of the LGBC is to counteract these‘isms’ and to educate and sensitize the cam- pus and community on these issues. The LGBC will use discussion groups, floor raps and special events such as seminar workshops in an attempt to eradicate these problems. Joining the collective will give you an opportunity to meet other lesbian, gay, bisexual and loud 1994 transgender students and to discuss the issues affecting our community. The LGBC has already accomplished several things throughout the 1993/94 school year. In the first week of Sep- tember we organized the Walk-for-AIDS booth in the concourse; this booth sold merchandise and created awareness to the students of Douglas College con- cerning AIDS. We also publishes a pam- phlet (that is available in the Student Society) based on Dr. Dorthy Riddles’ “Levels of Homophobia.” This was to create understanding in regards to homophobia and heterosexism on cam- pus. We also organized a booth for De- cember 6th to commemorate the women that died in the Montreal Mas- sacre, and to create awareness on the issue of violence against women.
