Join Queer and Questioning

Permanent link

Do any of these thoughts seem familiar? I'm out at school, but I don’t know how to tell my family. I think I might be gay (or bi or trans etc.) but I’m not sure. I want to come out, but I’m scared. My religion/culture conflicts with my sexuality. I’m nervous about graduating and being gay in the “world.” I have a crush on him/her but he/she doesn’t know I’m gay. I don’t feel comfortable in other Queer groups on campus. If so, join Queer and Questioning! This is a small group run by an LGBTQ identified Wellness Center Counselor, Aryela Levy. If you are interested, please email LevyA@Dickinson.edu so we can find a day and time that works best for everyone.
