The LGBTQ+ community deserves peace, safety, dignity, and love. Any suggestion otherwise is not an ideology worthy of debate -- it is unequivocal hatred, plain and simple. 

We have recently learned that groups associated with Washington & Lee have spent a minimum of $20,000 on a speaker's fee to bring vile and dangerous rhetoric to our campus. Our goal is to offset this bankrolling of bigotry by investing in tangible support for our community. 

The Shenandoah LGBTQ Center is a supportive network where LGBTQ people of all ages in the Shenandoah Valley and Greater Appalachia can thrive as equal, healthy, supported members of our society. They provide community support, housing assistance, identity-affirming healthcare, and a variety of other essential services. 

Please join us in supporting a phenomenal organization and sending a clear message that any attack on our identities will be met, matched, and surpassed by unwavering support and a flood of resources for our community.
