Friday, April 20: National Day of Silence and Pride Parade
Friday April 20 is the national Day of Silence, on which hundreds of thousands of students nationwide take a vow of silence to bring attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, as well as straight allies, as a result of anti-LGBTQ harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. If you or your organization is interested in participating in the Day of Silence, please email spectrum@elon.edu for stickers and information.
We invite you to join us for a raucous Pride Parade to break the silence! We will meet at Boney Fountain at 5pm and parade around campus with our voices, flags, and lots of energy! The parade will culminate in a barbeque at the Truitt Center! https://www.facebook.com/events/323645821022521/
Saturday, April 21: Drag Show: A Race to the Finish!
Oaks 212, 7:30 p.m.
This is an annual Spectrum event you won’t want to miss! We have a great line-up of local Queens (so local some are from our very own Elon!) who are ready to go head to head to vote against Amendment 1!
