How equal is marriage equality? The Women's Resource Center presents a program surrounding the current status of gay marriage in our country, looking at how the movement has overlooked lesbian couples, excluded trans folk, and paid more attention to gay males. Also, current legislation bars some states from achieving complete marriage equality and instead grants same-sex couples with civil unions, which does not guarantee couple with the same rights as heterosexual couples. Join us Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 2 - 3 p.m. in UMC 382-386.

Let’s talk about body love. It’s easier said than done, especially when it’s not just about love handles—fat-shaming is intertwined with sexism, classism and racism. How do we start to deconstruct that stigma, while actively learning to love the skin we’re in, however it looks—and to support and value other people and their bodies? Join us Tuesday, Feb. 11, from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. in UMC 416.
