UO LGBT Education and Support Services

Directions Website

UO LGBT Education and Support Services University of Oregon's center for the LGBTQIA+ community. We believe in a campus free from homophobia, transphobia and bias.

We are the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Education Support Services Program and we connect people. We enhance the academic and personal growth of LGBTQQIA individuals at UO and in the Eugene community. We believe in and are dedicated to maintaining a campus that is free of homophobia, heterosexism, and gender bias. There isn't a gay bar or an LGBTQ center in Eugene, but we have an extremely active community. The LGBT ESSP is just one of the organizations on campus that connects people at events in Eugene and via the internet.

πŸŽ“πŸŽ“Happy Graduation, Lavender Graduates, to everyone who came and those who were unable to attend. We celebrate all of you and your identities! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

This year’s Lavender Graduation was the biggest in the history of University of Oregon. Hearing the accomplishments of our amazing 2SLGBTQIA3+ graduates and heartfelt speeches from their partners, their colleagues, and their peers was incredible.

Thank you to these graduates and those who support them. We wish you well now and into the future!

Sincerely,

LGBTESS

Slide 1: At the very back of the image is a cut out of one of the posters for the movie Badhaai Do. The movie title is at the very right in 3D gold text. Below is the image of a woman on the left and the man on the right. The woman is wearing a red wedding lengha with gold details, and the man is wearing a blue Indian suit with a white-gold turban. Both of them are wearing flower garlands, holding them up, and in their background is the hallway of a hotel with brown details and gold light. Over the poster, wave-shapes frame the left side, going from light lavender to a darker purple from right to left. Over this are four text blocks with white backgrounds and yellow borders. The first bubble has the text " Join us for a screening of q***r bollywood film Badhaai Do!", the second says "888 Willamette St, Eugene, OR 97401", the third says "June 6 at 2:45pm" and the fourth says "RSVP! Seats are limited". These blocks are in rounded shapes and are laid out vertically, and the text is in dark purple except for the Badhaai Do which is in yellow.
