The University of Michigan-Dearborn's Gender and Sexuality Alliance will be hosting a slew of events throughout October celebrating both LGBT History Month and National Coming Out Day, which happens Oct. 11.
The month of events will begin with a screening of the 1984 documentary "The Times of Harvey Milk," which chronicles the political career and assassination of San Francisco's first openly gay elected official. The screening and following discussion will take place at 4 p.m. Oct. 5 in room 1030 of the College of Arts, Science and Letters building.
Then, at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 7, Ferndale Mayor and Oakland County Commission candidate Craig Covey will be speaking about his work and local LGBT politics. This event will take place in Kochoff Hall A, located in the University Center.
These events are just two of the many coming up from UM-Dearborn's GSA. All events are free and all are welcome to attend.
Check out the Oct. 7 issue of Between The Lines for a full calendar of LGBTQ History Month and Coming Out Day events happening at UM-Dearborn and beyond, plus more coverage of some of the LGBT community's greatest heros.
For more information on these and other events put on at UM-Dearborn, contact GSA President Benjamin Jenkins at [email protected].
