Does the campaign assume that the University of Calgary is homophobic or discriminates against transgendered individuals?
No. The University of Calgary has begun a number of initiatives that demonstrate its support for its bisexual, gay lesbian, queer and transgendered members. Organizations such as G.L.A.S.S. (Gay & Lesbian Academics, Students and Staff), and the WRC (Women’s Resource Centre) have undertaken education and awareness campaigns that have helped to raise the University’s awareness of the issues surrounding gender and sexual diversity. However, no institution as large as the University of Calgary can assume that the stereotypes and prejudices that exist outside the university are not also within its walls. Much has been done, but more is needed.
