LGBT RC Intern Alumni Reflections: The Ins and Outs
Anthony Nunez, Intern Class 2006-2007
 UC San Diego is like that lover who was originally supposed to be a one night stand, but someway, somehow, eight years later you're sitting at a coffeehouse (on your day off) figuring out how to describe your (seemingly) eternal love affair! My original plan when I transferred was to go to class, take my finals, and get the heck out of there. No friends, no social b.s., just business. But then I ran into this nondescript trailer next the Gilman Parking Structure, and attended the second annual Q Camp (or was it third? first? whatever, it was a long time ago). It was there that my career at UC San Diego was forever changed. My plan to remain aloof and unattached was shredded to pieces by many, many fierce, powerful, epic, and most of all, loving queers.

UCSD Library New LGBT Resource
That's so gay! : microaggressions and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community / Kevin L. Nadal
 Microaggressions are the casual verbal or behavioral slights, intentional or unintentional, that routinely communicate hostile or negative messages to people of a marginalized group. Research has shown microaggressions to affect a person's sense of identity, mental and physical health, and quality of life; at the institutional level, microaggressions contribute to inequities in education, employment and health care. While much of the literature on microaggressions focuses on race and racism, Nadal uses case studies and narratives to illustrate how these subtle forms of discrimination are directed at, and perceived by, those in the LGBT community. Separate chapters examine sexual orientation and gender identity microaggressions, while another looks at the "intersectional microaggression" experiences of LGBT people with multiple oppressed identities (e.g. race, economic class). The final chapter offers families, schools, employers and other institutions suggestions for easing microaggressions against LGBT people. This book is available at Geisel Library. http://goo.gl/3BJq0.
