Sex in the City commercial
So I saw a Sex in the City commercial on TBS last night.

It was Carrie saying, "I don't think bisexuality really exists. I think it's just a layover on the way to gaytown." And then it was like "TBS. Really Funny." or something like that.

...irritating...

Current Mood: aggravated

Hey hey! Welcome QWIIG-ies!
Hey there!

QWIIG meetings this quarter are twice weekly, right? They are held in the Women's Action Commission office in HUB201. Anyone (GBLTQCIA...) is welcome... just a few simple things to remwmber!

-QWIIG meetings are queer-positive and non-oppressive. (If you're a homophobe, stay home, please!)
-QWIIG meetings are a confidential and safe space (What happens at QWIIG stays at QWIIG...)
-QWIIG meetings are fun! It's a great place to meet friends and talk about queer stuff!
