I’m in TC, and it’s boooooring. I’m moving to Grand Rapids next spring, maybe that’ll be somewhat more exciting.
-
Holla, TC! But odds are we’ve dated the same person or have some other similar awkward connectedness. :/
-
I doubt it, I’m bi and have only dated 2 guys since I moved here 8 years ago. Apparently I don’t know where to pick up chicks. :V
-
I’m sorry, I sometimes forget that tone does not translate well on the internetz. I meant it mostly fecetiously because TC is so small and boring, etc, etc. And I don’t know where to pick up chicks either, I think all of the queer ladies up here are paired up and spending their nights at home watching Grey’s Anatomy.
-
Haha it’s cool, I figured you meant that as well. :)

Grand Rapids is probably slightly more exciting than TC, but more conservative too :(
-
Everyone keeps saying that, but TC only *looks* liberal from the outside. I worked at a food co-op that had some of the most sexist, racist and homophobic employees I’ve ever met (and I worked at a restaurant for 5 years before that, so that says something :p). I also volunteered w the Dems last election cycle and they lost to Republican…[Read more]

I concur, TC may be liberal in comparison to the terrifying Michigan Militia Nascar republicans that populate the surrounding 200 miles but that doesn’t make it a good place to be.

Yay! Did you see all the hot air balloons by the Bay today? Pretty rad B)
-
Yes I did see them. Some of them flew right over my work. And I’m going downtown to watch the launch and return glow tonight. I hope to ride an air balloon one of these days.

Hello you wonderful people! I’m 16, so I’m technically no longer underage in my UK motherland, but I still feel like I belong here.

So how about that brainstorming for gay-straight alliance activities? I just started my school’s, and we need stuff to DO.
-
I’ve been wanting to start one at my school, but I don’t know how
-
try talking to your principal and/or assistant principals about it. i don’t know how it works for other schools, but we have a REALLY active student club life over here, so it often boils down to simply filling out a few forms and finding a teacher to be the club’s advisor. oftentimes, i find it helpful to simply track down the biggest names and…[Read more]

our GSA does a lot of activites re: social activism, so perhaps i can help you out here! we’re actually visiting all of our health classes this month to talk about what it’s like to be young and queer, gay bullying, etc. etc. we visited all the social studies classes for the day of silence as well. i also highly recommend looking into LGBTQ…[Read more]

Those all sound like really good ideas that I’ll have to keep in mind for next year! We made ours this year and were just focusing on establishing its presence first before doing community outreach stuff next year.
-
in that case, i recommend school fundraisers. if you can get permission, try holding a series of miniature fundraisers- from selling baked goods to donation boxes (to the LGBTQ charity of your choice, most likely), or even do something bigger- paint a mural in your school, have an assembly to raise awareness of some GSA-related cause, so on. we…[Read more]

We had a club day, too! And a surprisingly large amount of people signed up, but the activity dwindled after the first month or two and I’m pretty sure a good 50% never showed up at all, partially out of fear, I think. Clubs at my school are allowed a maximum of three fundraisers a year, I think. One advantage we have over other clubs is that we…[Read more]

This year, we did a fundraiser for AIDS Walk, Day of Silence, Night of Noise, No Name Calling Week, sold LGBT related tshirts and had “movie nights for human rights”. We’d show two movies at school that were generally related to human rights and people would donate to the club. We’ve also done things for LGBT history month and spread awareness…[Read more]

I’m not living in Michigan now, but I grew up in Hastings and am around occasionally during the summer and winter.
