Save Sexuality and Gender Studies Petition

Lawmakers in Georgia and Florida are using 'budget cuts' as an excuse for a witchhunt--targeting sexuality, queer and women's studies courses and cloaking a moral agenda as a fiscal decision.

We need to act now to protect the integrity of scientific research and the importance of sexuality and gender studies--including those who do sexuality work in complementary programs like anthropology, gerontology, sociology and ethnic studies.The work of these researchers and academics contributes greatly to a healthier sexuality for all of us, preventing disease, addressing stigma and promoting lifelong sexual literacy with accurate, science-based evidence.

Web Spotlight: Community Psychology At Penn State Harrisburg

Community Psychology At Penn State Harrisburg is a blog about a lesbian who faced discrimination at her college. In her words she says:

"I am a graduate student who faced discrimination at Penn State Univ. of Harrisburg for creating a graduate project focused on Queer Studies. I was told my project had to be a “Women’s Studies” project because Penn State Univ. as an institution does not support Queer Studies”. While at PSH I faced verbal abuse and sexual harassment due to my gender expression as a working-class lesbian."
