Karaoke is a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, hang out with friends, and have a good time! This Thursday evening, Q***r Karaoke is taking place in Delph beginning at 6. Although this isn’t a Spectrum event, we really wanted to promote this more and we hope to see y’all there 💕 sign up using the link in the flyer!

Hello, Spectrum friends and family! Before anything else, the e-board would like to give a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who attended last night’s event or played a role in making it such a wonderful time. We hope to see you at future events!

That said, I wanted to share some thoughts about LGBTQ+ History Month. I did a lot of the research for the biographies of the historical q***r people featured, and I felt very emotionally impacted while I was doing that work.

As I read about the struggles of the 15 people we chose to honor last night, I was given a sobering reminder of the true meaning of LGBTQ+ History Month. Countless people have lost their lives—either in death, or in their ability to live freely—because following what we know about ourselves meant being condemned and subject to persecution. The Reagan administration turned their backs on an entire generation of HIV+ individuals because it was considered a “gay disease”. Homicides are ignored, written off as suicides or accidents. We have been denied our basic dignity for so long through colonialism and patriarchy. And that’s just the history we know about—so much has been buried or destroyed purposefully, and is lost forever.

LGBTQ+ History Month is only for the month of October, but we don’t only exist in June and October for the benefit of apathetic institutions to tout their supposed commitment to diversity through a few rainbows. We are here and we have always been, no matter what anyone says. We are not going anywhere.

So as LGBTQ+ History Month comes to an end, our message to you is that we don’t want your support for us to end as well. Put your money where your mouth is. Act on the love you say you have. Stand with us—if not physically, then in spirit. That goes for us, as well as every marginalized group that can share in these experiences.

We love you and we stand together, no matter what happens.

—Riley, on behalf of the Spectrum e-board

Hallo! I'm Mireya and I'm majoring in Psychology, BS. It's my third year at ASU and my second year in Spectrum. Aside from psychology, I enjoy art/drawing, learning about linguistics and languages, anatomy, and watching random lecture videos on YouTube. My favorite parts of Spectrum are the games we play during free time and meeting other LGBTQ+ friends! I'm excited for all our events and meeting this year, and I hope to see y'all there!

Hey, I'm Aspen, my pronouns are He/They and I am Secretary of Club Support, though I will be helping out with the Instagram this semester. I'm a sophomore studying Communication, but I'm honestly fascinated by a little bit of everything! What I most love about Spectrum is knowing that I have a community where I don't have to hide any part of my identity.

Hi, my name is Riley, and I’m your president for the 2022-2023 school year! I’m a fourth-year psychology major. When I’m not in class or at Spectrum meetings, I work at Starbucks, play with my dog, listen to music, and watch Marvel movies. My favorite part of Spectrum is hearing about the joys and successes in our members’ lives. Hope to see you this semester!

Hey everyone! We hope you had a blast at A Watercolor Welcome and West Fest. We wanted to officially announce the details of this semester’s meetings. As the post says, our meetings this semester will be in UCB302, on Tuesdays from 7:30-9:30 PM, and our first meeting is on August 30th.

Don’t know how to get to our meeting room? We’re here to help! The second photo is a map of ASU with a pink dot marked on it. This is roughly where you should try to go. Your goal is to get to Delph Courtyard—that area on the north side of campus, near Thunderbird, with the cool fountain—and face the big outside staircase (North). Then start walking to the right and enter the glass doors labeled “UCB”. You can either take the inside staircase or the elevator in front of you to the third floor. When you reach the third floor, make a left and go down to the end of the hallway, and you will find Spectrum.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hey, ASU West friends! It’s been a wild summer and we’ve missed you a *lot*. In fact, we’ve missed you SO MUCH that we wanted to do an event specifically to give you a warm, fun, colorful back to campus. Come join us for watercolor painting, music, and fun at “A Watercolor Welcome”, part of SCC and SDFC’s “Welcome Back Wednesday”. We’ll be on the main gym floor of the SDFC from 6:30-8:30 PM the day before school starts, August 17th. We hope to see you there! 🌈❤️
