Federal actions of the Trump Administration, including presidential Executive Orders attempting to limit the rights of LGBTQIA + persons, have created fear and confusion. Among these are Executive Orders and agency actions that have been designed to eliminate programs that address discrimination in federal and federally funded programs, deny transgender youth necessary health care, make schools unsafe for transgender and gender non-conforming students, deny protections for LGBTQIA+ people in the workplace, and other measures. Maryland law, however, continues to provide protections from discrimination for persons based on sexual orientation and gender identity and federal policy can only override state law in limited circumstances.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) has been observed annually on November 20 for over two decades and caps off Transgender Week of Awareness. It is a time to honor the memories of transgender people who have lost their lives to anti-trans violence. The day is often marked with vigils, community gatherings, and celebrations of life. MC Pride & Allies holds the memories of those we've lost close as we work towards uplifting trans folks while they are still alive.

The College offers the Gender Studies 102: Understanding LGBTQ+ Identities course for students.

Spring 2025: Distance Learning Format, March 31-May 18, CRN: 31625

GNDS 102 is an inter-disciplinary, cross-cultural examination of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) identities in contemporary United States society that draws from history, literature, sociology, philosophy, psychology and communications studies to understand the diversity of gender expressions and sexual orientations. This course surveys who LGBT people are and how academic study of these identities has developed. It explores the connection between women’s studies and gender studies, and the ways women’s studies has grown to include analysis of how gender and sexual orientation interact and intersect, and how heterosexism and homophobia function in various contexts and affect everyone in society. This course requires students to engage both written and visual texts, to apply and connect material from the course to life outside the classroom, and to investigate sexual minority identities in terms of communities, cultures and political movements. Assessment Level(s): ENGL 101/ENGL 101A, READ 120 or consent of program coordinator. Three hours each week. Formerly GS 102.
