EAAH’s new flyer
Come help kick off Everyone Allied Against Homophobia’s new flyering campaign! People will be meeting in the Stephen Donaldson Lounge (in the basement of Furnald) at 8 pm tonight, and from there they will be distributing flyers to every dorm room on campus.
According to the board of Everyone Allied Against Homophobia, the goal of the new campaign is to continue to challenge and push past barriers:
This year, we’ve thought a lot about what it means to declare that a space is a safe space as well as the kind of work that it takes to put up a little flyer in your window. As a result, we hope our flyer will be a little more challenging than in years past. Rather than ending with someone choosing to put up the flyer in their room or not, we hope to spark a conversation about whose concerns safe spaces address and whose they ignore. We hope people who see the flyer will think about how, at least, we can help each other be a little kinder, a little more thoughtful, if we can’t just solve oppression in one night.

@Senior These flyers are incredibly guilt-trippy, and the language in them is very similar to the language of some evangelical Christian pamphlets (you know, the ones that say we’re all going to hell). Are these good role models for EAAH? I’m not so sure.
I understand that as a straight man, I benefit from many social systems–but don’t attack me for doing my best to equalize society. What do I get in return for my support? A preachy flyer that talks down to me and treats me as a misbehaving child. A sinner, essentially.
If EAAH wants support, this isn’t the way to go about it. I’m not posting the flyer in my window.
@omg this is honestly hilarious
@hey guys “EEAH” != Everyone Allied Against Homophobia.
