Queer Discussion Group (QDG)
QDG is a safe, confidential meeting place for students who are queer and/or questioning their gender/sexuality. QDG is a great opportunity to meet other LGBTQ students, hang out and have fun, and discuss queer issues. If you’re interested in joining QDG or even if you just want to chat, shoot Zach or Janela 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, gender queer, and questioning students at Haverford. Some examples include: coming out at Haverford, queer culture, discrimination, and dating.
We keep things informal and fun, but maintain a confidential "safe space". 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.
