Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

    The Mosaic October 2015 Edition Monthly Newsletter from the Department of Multicultural Life Highlights of The Month By Jinath Tasnim ‘16 Program Assistant, Lealtad-Suzuki Center An(Other) Story Circle: Feminisms & Religion On October 20, 2015, the Department of Multicultural Life hosted our first An(Other) Story Circle program for the semester in collaboration with the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life (CRSL). An(Other) Story Circle is a once-a-semester program where a group of community members are asked to share their experiences, or stories, with the campus community around a particular theme on identity, self, and soci- ety. The Story Circle program aspires to encourage the Macalester community to talk across difference and get to know each other through sharing personal narratives. This semester our topic was Feminisms and Religion and we invited four story-sharers who are passionate about their identities as feminists and how that relates to their religion and spirituality. Set in the beautiful lower level space of Weyerhaeuser Chapel, nearly 30 participants attended the event over the lunch hour munching on sandwiches from Jimmy John’s. Chaplain Kelly Stone welcomed everyone to the space, followed by an overview of the program and community guidelines by the DML student staff organizers. Our four story sharers were a nice mix of students, faculty, and staff across multiple faith backgrounds: our very own Afifa Benwahoud, coordinator of the DML; Rachel Fogel ’16; Gao Thor ’18; and Lin Aanonsen, Professor of Biology. They each shared thoughtful and quite moving stories, and tears might have been shed. Afterwards, the room divided into small groups of four to reflect on the stories, resonance, and own relation- ships with faith and feminism through some guided questions.
