YAG promotes awareness, understanding

By Heather Howell

     Young Allied Gays is a group of people with the common cause to abolish homphoibia while finding friendship and support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual individuals or LGBT.

     "YAG is a multifunctional club," said Gerran Coppin, Muskogee junior. "We are here to provide a place for LGBT students and faculty to meet and hang out."

     The foundation is made up of three main heads consisting of a president, vice president and a sponsor. All of the meetings are put together by both faculty and students including the annual Drag Show. These events are coordinated to promote awareness and understanding. 

     "We also try to increase awareness, tolerance and acceptance for LGBT students, faculty and the community at large," said Coppin.

     The meetings are held in South Leoser every Wednesday at 7 p.m. in classroom 127.
