Equality Club returns to LHS

Equality+Club+returns+to+LHS

Tuesday, Feb. 6, the Equality Club had its first meeting in Jordan Lockard’s classroom, room T4. Meetings will take place every Tuesday from 2:30 to 3 p.m., and anyone can join. The club will discuss sexuality and gender, among other topics concerning the LGBTQ+ community and allies, and will focus on educating members. Officer elections took place Feb. 13, with Dante Boe as president, Brian Garza as vice president, Shelli Guyer as secretary, Ashley Hartwig as media adviser, and Sydney Inman as treasurer. The club adviser is Lockard, who teaches psychology and world history. This is not the first LGBTQ+ club at LHS, the original was led by Cynthia Yarno but due to lack of membership the club was unable to continue meetings.  Boe, senior, brought back the club after a seven year hiatus because he felt that “the community needed it,” and “[there were] lots of lost people.” Boe plans on discussing a new topic each week and providing a safe place for conversation among members.
