The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center hosted an author and film screening sponsored by Queer Ink on Tuesday as part of Diversity Week in the University Student Union ballrooms.

A crowd of more than 50 people gathered to listen to author and professor emeritus of English Clifton Snider, who read from his book of poetry "Loud Whisper." The poem was about Lance Loud, a gay columnist and musician who died in 2001, explores the life and death of the gay activist. The book has been optioned for a film and is currently undergoing the transition to screenplay.

"I'm reading poetry that represents the LGBT community," Snider said. "Some poems demonstrate against Prop 8, but all cover the LGBT."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
