Media Advisory | Feb. 4, 2005 UBC to Fly Rainbow Flag in Support of LGBQTTI Students, Faculty and Staff Event: Rainbow flag raising ceremony Place: Plaza between Brock Hall and the Student Union Building, UBC
Date/Time: Monday, Feb. 7 at noon
Parking: North Parkade, on the north side of the Student Union Building and across from the Student Recreation Centre, enter through Gate 3 on Chancellor Boulevard
UBC will raise the rainbow flag in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transexual queer, two-spirit and intersex (LGBQTTI) students, faculty and staff.
The rainbow flag, adopted by the LGBQTTI community as a symbol of diversity and pride, will be raised at a ceremony hosted by Brian Sullivan, Vice President, Students, and representatives of Pride UBC, an LGBT student group.
The flag is part of OutWeek, Pride UBC’s 25th annual celebration to raise awareness of LGBT issues.
Only one other Canadian university has flown the rainbow flag and the City of Vancouver began flying the flag over city hall only last year.
The flag will fly through Feb. 12 on a new flagpole on the plaza between the Student Union Building and Brock Hall, home to UBC’s Student Welcome Centre. A university flag will fly the rest of the year.
“Flying the rainbow flag is a significant demonstration of the University’s acknowledgement and support for these communities,” says OmiSoore Dryden, diversity advisor in sexual orientation and gender identities.
“The office is the first in a Canadian university to commit to integrated practices in bringing about positive social change and creating a welcoming environment at the university,” says Janet Mee, director of the UBC Access and Diversity Office.
“We’re please that the university administration has chosen to visibly support LGBQTTI students for the 25th anniversary of OutWeek,” says Pride UBC’s OutWeek co-ordinator Sadie Pile. “We look forward to a continued collaboration with the University in years to come.”
Now why do you feel the need to drag CSNY's Deja Vu into this?
As far as who's been added, Jerry Garcia (pedal steel guitar on Teach your children), but, he's since been subtracted.
Strictly because of the accumulated letters, from CSN, to CSNY, to CSNYTR and whatnot.

Well Loyalist, what does CHFPCSF stand for?
Straight But Soaps Butt In Shower Longer Than Necessary.
LMAO!
At school about 8 - 10 years ago, it was just GLB. Then the 'T' got added. I see now there has been the addition of a Q, another T, and and I. I guess this is their idea of a 'big tent.'
I have sympathy for the 'intersex' people ... they can't help what happened to them.
The rest are just weirdos demanding that everyone celebrate their fetishes.

i.e. - UBC raises the rainbow flag in support of PERVERSION.
PERUOTRASH!!!
They are demonstrating their hatred and lack of support for anyone with sincere religious or moral beliefs in the sinfulness of homosexual activity. What an exclusionary and divisive action!
AMEN to that!! And creating a hostile living/learning/working environment for the majority too!
Can I have a "Straight Pride" bumper sticker made with a Real Man (Howie Long would be good!) silhouette!?
PLEASE!?
How bout Tim the Tool Man!!
