It is a weeklong project to raise awareness of LGBT people and issues on campus.
Based on the idea that everybody has their own individual sexuality,the aim of this event is to show that anybody can become an LGBT ally, regardless of their own sexuality.
The project consists of a campus-wide poster campaign, a website featuring articles written by LGBT people and allies and also two exhibition spaces with pictures and personal stories.
