Queer Discussion Group (QDG)
Queer Discussion Group QDG is a safe, confidential space for queer students, gender-queer students, and students who may be questioning their gender or their sexuality. It gives those students a confidential, safe, judgment-free space where they can meet other queer students at Haverford, sit back and listen, or discuss queer issues. If you’re interested in joining QDG or even if you just want to chat, shoot Erin or Zach an e-mail.
QDG meets once a week at an undisclosed place and time. We generally have a topic for each meeting. Each topic relates in some way to the lives of queer, genderqueer, and questioning students at Haverford. Some examples include: how to come out to your customs group/roommate, masturbation, and dating at Haverford, in the Bi-Co, Tri-Co, and greater Philadelphia area.
We keep things informal, but maintain safe space at all times. Safe space, for those of us unfamiliar with the term, is a space free of judgement or criticism, where people are free to express themselves without fear of harassment. In QDG, that translates into a safe caring space where every student recieves the full support of the group to say what they need to say.
