Well, Well, Well... Morehouse College, the school that won't even allow their students to express themselves freely by wearing whatever they want to class, had its first Gay Pride Week. Sources say the event wasn't even acknowledged on the school's calendar of events.

WTH!?!? Flip It for Details...

    While LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender] people across the country are gaining more visibility, many African-American LGBT voices go unheard and their issues get ignored. Morehouse, one of our county's most premiere historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), is dedicated to amplifying those voices in hopes for creating change and reducing homophobia on campus. Inviting B. Scott is one step in the right direction in Morehouse's quest for affirming all of their LGBT students.

It's true that African_American voices in the LGBT community aren't always heard. In many case our experiences are different. Besides the gender issues, we also have to deal with racism.

Another added problem is the fact that histoically black colleges help propogate homophobia and transphobia that's in our communities. The majority of transwoman murdered are people of color.
