Exciting news: Pride Week 2015 starts TOMORROW, APRIL 6th (through April 10th)! This year's theme is Intersectionality Across the Rainbow, which we're super stoked about considering that people commonly identify with multiple identities (opposed to only one)! Several organizations will be helping us celebrate this week by hosting meetings and/or events with this theme. How cool, right?! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's the schedule for the week, hope you can join us, if nothing else for the ~free food, t-shirts, and fun! </div>

Want to go, but don't have anyone to go with? Already going with a group of people?<br />
Hey, the more, the merrier, right?<br />
<br />
Meet us in front of the Littlefield Fountain at 6pm and join us as we march in the Pride Parade!<br />
Don't feel like marching it? No problem -- that's okay, too! We'll be splitting up into two groups: one for those who want to march at the parade, and another for those who don't.<br />
<br />
Also, we'll be having our second body meeting this coming Wednesday, September 24th.<br />
We want to hear what YOU want to see being done at UT, within the organization, the type of legislature you want us to write, etc! So, come to our town hall edition meeting with all of your fantastic ideas because we can't wait to hear it all!<br />
(As per usual, there will be food!)<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there! :D<br />

In 1998, a teenage girl in Italy was raped by her driving instructor. The man was convicted, but his case went to the Supreme Court of Appeals in Rome. The court overturned the conviction, arguing that because the girl wore very tight jeans she must have had to help remove them, thereby giving consent to have sex.<br /><br />The case made international headlines, and the young woman’s jeans became a symbol of awareness that what someone wears is NEVER an excuse or invitation for rape<br /><br />For more information: <a href="http://www.safeplace.org/DenimDay" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.safeplace.org/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>DenimDay</a><br /><br />Part of Sexual Violence Prevention Month 2014:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/852545681438586/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>events/852545681438586/</a><br />#UTGetsConsent</span><br />

Condom Couture is a fashion show that aims to recognize and provoke thought about gender inequity, global health, and HIV/AIDS. This fashion show entices student participation by challenging designers to create outfits out of condoms. Condom Couture is provocative and innovative and will engage students and members of the Austin community in the fight against AIDS.</div>
