On Tuesday Nov. 24 U of L’s LGBT Center gathered in the Red Barn for an Alternative Thanksgiving. The LGBT Alumni Network hosted the event, and Humana’s LGBT Resource Group donated home cooked items like turkey and dressing, among the buffet of Thanksgiving food. Other volunteers included university faculty and staff, and people from Feast on Equality committee.
“A lot of LGBT students either can’t go home, their not welcomed home, or going home means going back in the closet… To pretend to be someone their not. The main focus is on them and their experience,” said Brian Buford, director of the LGBT Center at U of L .
