Remember arguing with your roommate over a topic you just saw? It’s plain. And it’s simple. Isn’t it? The growth that the LGBTIQ community at UNC has seen throughout the past few months has been refreshing and rewarding, while full of change and full of chal- fenges. We saw the Elyse Crystall controversy come to an end, but the lessons learned won’t soon leave us. We met new faces and campus leaders for the LGB TIQ community that are going to lead us into the future. We saw the addition of the Program in Sexuality Studies to whet our academic appetite.

We’ll let the following pages speak for themselves. Enjoy them. For you’re undoubtedly enjoying rich LGBTIQ history.
