Queers and Allies embraced, accepted students ' sexuality. Gay, Lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students at the University of Kansas could find support and friendship through KU Queers and Allies. The organization was active in educating the campus and the Lawrence community. The group had information booths for National Coming Out Day in October, helped with World AIDS Day in December and organized Gay Pride week in the spring. Perhaps the most popular event of the celebrations was the drag show which took place outside the Kansas Union. It traditionally attracted cheering crowds. Members also shared their coming out stories and encounters with prejudice with students and community members through Speakers ' Bureau. People could ask questions, and sometimes the questions showed the stereotypes that still existed. Andy Anderson, director of the group and Lawrence junior said, People still have these weird ideas about what it means to be gay. People tend to think that gay men are about sex and les- bians are about cuddling and togetherness. Jeremy Wolff, Derby junior, agreed. There ' s a lot of stuff the general population doesn ' t know, he said. People just don ' t have any experience with the queer community. There ' s a lot of stereotypes because they don ' t know any differently. The group did more than educate, though; it also served as a support system for those exploring their sexuality and those who were gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered. KU Queers and Allies had weekly support groups and offered weekly peer coun- seling. Wolff came out about two years ago. He said it was easier than he thought but said there were some problems. When I came out, I didn ' t have any gay friends, he said. I didn ' t have anyone to talk to. Sean Rigby transferred to the University from Cowley Community College and found the environment different. While he didn ' t encounter problems at his former school, Rigby also did- n ' t find others he could relate with. The community college did- n ' t have an organization for Queer students. No one else on campus was out. I was the only gay student at Cowley, he said. other ' s Students took time from their hectic schedules to catch up with friends at Teller ' s family night.
