“The Gender and Sexuality Equality Club of Penn State Behrend is dedicated to promoting a safe and accepting atmosphere. Our community provides a safe space for the exploration of gender identity and sexuality. We are open to everybody.”

What is the most significant thing your club does on-campus? 

“The most significant event we hold on Campus is the drag show. We’re hoping to bring it back!”
