What Has the Cant� Done for YOU?
|
Iriany Lopez-Hernandez
Who are you?
My name is Iriany Lopez-Hernandez. I am double- majoring in Community and Feminist studies and minoring in Education. I identify as 'Queer-Fluid.'
What has the Cant� done for you?
The Cant� has given me the opportunity to meet people who are in the process of 'coming out' or are already 'out.' Though, I still haven't come out to my parents, or to some friends, the center has helped me and supported me through the process of 'coming out.' There are people at the center that will help you through this process and remind you that nothing is wrong with identifying as Queer.

The Cantu is excited about 2 programs this week that it is co-sponsoring.
DO plan on attending the QPOC Mixer TONIGHT on 11.12.13! All are welcome regardless of identities. Come dance, laugh, eat, flirt, make new friends! Student leaders have worked VERY hard raising funds and planning in order to make this event a way queer extravaganza!
And this Friday, the Cantu will be transformed into a Queer Sex Space. When we "come out" there's often an expectation that we instantly know all there is to know about queer sex. But this just isn't so! Come learn, play games, see demos, get quick tested (know your status!!), eat snacks, ask the "sexperts" and have fun.
