#5371 @5365 Again, even that isn't helpful at all. I still have no idea who you are talking about. I've been a part of the organization for a number of semesters and wasn't aware of any of the stories you just mentioned. I encourage you to bring it to the attention of Spectrum members who weren't involved in these things if you actually want to change the situation. Anonymous forums are not the place for productive action.
#5370 If you can't dance or are out of shape please DO NOT DO lip sync. You are only bringing your sisters down.
#5369 There are only 3 board members of spectrum right now and they are all new as of last semester. Get your facts straight.
#5368 I'm a woman and I watched 50 Shades of Grey and I had no problem with it. Why don't some of y'all watch it before pitching a fit.
#5367 That awkward moment when you think a crazy bitch transferred but she's actually just in Rome. #letdown
#5366 Rollins Confessions is one of the most entertaining things to me. You have the people who take it super serious and use it to talk about the most political of things or to spill all the terrible parts of student organizations. You have the people who desperately and seemingly fruitlessly tell those serious people to stop because they just want to talk about sex and alcohol. Then occasionally you have the people who just need a friend to talk to but don't have one so they spill all of their personal problems here. I love all of it. Every single post. It gives me a daily dose of crazy that isn't my own and makes me feel so much better about my life.
#5365 1) A couple in the closet attended Spectrum meetings, telling everyone they were allies. A member of spectrum outed them to the entire organization at an event.
2) Someone who was not even involved in spectrum was in the closet. Two members of spectrum confronted their friends and asked them about that person being gay before they had the chance to come out to those friends. They were outed before they were ready and without the ability to have control over that personal conversation.
3) Someone was bullied and harassed online and told to kill themselves by a leader of spectrum, making them feel as though they had no safe place to go while figuring out their sexuality.
4) A member of spectrum had a crush on a closeted person and the few spectrum members in the know decided to reveal their sexuality without their consent.
5) A bisexual attended spectrum meetings just to be told by several members that they weren’t really bisexual and would realize that they were gay soon enough.
6) Someone attended spectrum who was Christian and was harassed by several spectrum members for their religious beliefs.
These are just a few of the incidents, from people who began attending EQUAL with me and who gave me permission to share the story here. There are more. Each of these occurrences had a different Spectrum member involved. So, no. It is not just one member. It is not just one bad thing that one person has done. It’s a systemic problem within the entire organization and thus the entire organization needs to address it.
#5364 @5359: It's not about making the leaders aware, it's the leaders that are at the heart of the problem. It's not our job to fix their mistakes. They already know what they did. It's their job to own up to it and make things right.
