and closeted, you can end up
in this place where you
regard your straight peers
as the enemy."

Who are you?
My name is Memo. Lit Major. PGP's: He, Him, His
What are your interests?
Some hobbies of mine are reading romance novels, going to the gym, and watching out for fashion, whether it's shopping or just looking at what people are wearing.
What does the Cantu mean to you?
The Cantu is a really fun and safe place where I love to go because I can always find my good friends there and have really debatable conversations that completely relate to my everyday struggles and questions.

We're hoping everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving Day break! The Cant� hosted a truly amazing Queer Community Feast on Thursday. MUCH love and energy went into the preparations. There were ~45 happy students in attendance and more than 30 delicious items on the menu--nearly all home cooked, organic, and vegan/ vegetarian! Huge props to the many Cantu interns and volunteers who made this event possible: Damon and Sha get the gold medal for their incredible efforts in fundraising, planning, publicizing, cooking, baking, and cleaning up. Many others including Chris, Nathan, Margarito, and Karren stayed up til the wee hours, doing whatever needed doing. Deb shopped til she nearly dropped and basted & tasted til the yams turned out right! What a night!
