WVII reports on LGBTQ Services’ Pride Week
LGBTQ Services at the University of Maine was featured in a WVII (Channel 7) report about transgender issues. The group is hosting Pride Week, a series of on-campus events praising individuality. Amy Schmitt, a work study student for LGBTQ Services, said the week provides the opportunity for the community to “celebrate everything that makes people individuals, especially in terms of LGBTQ.” Schmitt added that UMaine is “very welcoming” and offers general-neutral bathrooms, as well as the option to use the facility people feel most comfortable with.
