Inclusive Bible Study
 If you're an LGBT* person of faith, you know how hard it is to find a community that affirms both your faith and your sexuality. If you're a straight ally, you know how frustrating it is to encounter people who share your faith but fail to love your LGBT* friends and family.
Any who are interested are invited to join us for a bi-weekly small group Bible study meeting in the Coast Apartments: every other Thursday at 7:30pm, starting this week. (Please reply to matthall@ucsd.edu for the specific location & directions.) The group is affiliated with the Graduate Christian Fellowship at UCSD, and is open to non-LGBT* people; straight/cis folks make up about half the group. However, we are committed to maintaining a safe space for LGBT* people and those who love them to explore and express their faith.

CALL ME KUCHU Film Screening
 CALL ME KUCHU is a compelling and intimate portrait of an ordinary man with extraordinary courage and conviction. The film also provides rare insight into a lesser examined sexual and gender rights movement, and sheds light on the shocking role of American evangelicals in fueling state-sanctioned homophobia in Uganda. It illustrates by example the ways in which grassroots human rights activists are working through international bodies such as the UN to change the situation in their countries.
Full details about the San Diego screening can be found here: http://www.mopa.org/event/2013-01-24/human-rights-watch-film-festival-opening-night-call-me-kuchu.
