Heterosexual Privilege

Benefits derived automatically by being (or being perceived as) heterosexual that are denied to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, queers and all other non-heterosexual sexual orientations.

Being intersex does not render someone LGBTQ+ identifying, and many intersex activists have advocated against the use of intersex conditions as "proof" that gender identity is socially constructed.

In the Closet

Polyamory

Polyamory is the practice of having multiple open, honest love relationships.

Queer

Originally harmful in its intent, the term is now used by some LGBTQ+ individuals to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual and, often also transgender, people. However, many LGBTQ+ people still live in contexts in which this term is violently weaponized against them. Some use queer as an alternative to "gay" in an effort to be more inclusive. The term has either a derogatory, when used by someone not part of the LGBTQ+ community, or an affirming connotation, as many have sought to reclaim the term that was once widely used against them in a negative way.

Rainbow Flag

The Rainbow Freedom Flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker to designate the great diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. It has been recognized by the International Flag Makers Association as the official flag of the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement.

Sexual Orientation

The direction of one's sexual (erotic) and/or romantic attraction towards the same gender, opposite gender, or multiple genders.

Like gender, sexuality is on a spectrum, meaning some people may experience fluidity in their sexuality.

Stereotype

An exaggerated oversimplified belief about an entire group of people that reinforces white supremacist power structures by normalizing discrimination against marginalized people.

Straight

Transsexual

An older term for people whose gender identity is different from their assigned sex at birth who seeks to transition from male to female or female to male. Many do not prefer this term because it is thought to sound overly clinical.

Two-Spirit

The LGBTQ Citizenship Cluster focuses on the various ways lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in our society experience harm, ranging from legal and extralegal discrimination to structural violence and sexual regulation, paying particular attention to how sexuality and gender intersect with class, race, nationality, age, and disability.

The LGBTQ Citizenship Cluster focuses on the various ways lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in our society experience harm, ranging from legal and extralegal discrimination to structural violence and sexual regulation, paying particular attention to how sexuality and gender intersect with class, race, nationality, age, and disability. We also center LGBTQ collective organizing that has, and continues to actively focus on, marginalized populations, and on building strategies for critical examination and reflection.

The overarching goal for the formation and the eventual activity of the LGBTQ cluster is to change public policy, discourse and societal norms through teaching, intellectual, artistic, and activist work. Reaching a broad swath of undergraduate and graduate students and society at large, we expect this cluster to bring a new degree of coordination, resources, and shared purpose to the range of faculty doing LGBTQ-focused or LGBTQ-informed work in schools and departments across the campus and in the community.

SNAPS: A Queer People of Color Space

We unite ourselves with one rainbow flag- a symbol for communal unity, yet all too often we neglect the individuals that come together to form that one symbol. As a community we find empowerment through unity, but at what cost? The amazing diversity here at Cal allows for everyone to bring their own individual perspective to the table, but very often we don't feel welcome to dinner. "There is no racism in the queer community" is a frequent dismissal to us, a denial of the basic fact that we are a very diverse and heterogeneous community that finds commonality in identifying with queer issues. Queer People of Color aims to acknowledge our community's immense diversity. Let's find empowerment as individuals and as a community. Let's work towards a community that lives up to our pre-college expectations that were more often than not, disappointed by the time we got here... it is time for queer people of color to be acknowledged and recognized... this is OUR opportunity to stand up and be heard.

E-mail us at calscme@gmail.com or check out our blog at CalSCME.blogspot.com to learn more about how you can get involved in the fight for equal rights.

We recognize that UC Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band. We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has, and continues to benefit from, the use and occupation of this land, since the institution’s founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community, inclusion and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples. As members of the Berkeley community, it is vitally important that we not only recognize the history of the land on which we stand, but also, we recognize that the Muwekma Ohlone people are alive and flourishing members of the Berkeley and broader Bay Area communities today.

Action Required: Using A Land Acknowledgement

xučyun (Huichin) is the home territory that Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people, it extends from what we know today as the Berkeley hills to the Bay Shore, from West Oakland to El Cerrito. The territory is composed of what we know today as five Bay Area cities -  all of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, El Cerrito, and most of Oakland.

Our campus extends to areas of xučyun that held a tuppentak (a traditional roundhouse), a place of celebration and ceremony, as well as a shellmound, traditional Ohlone burial sites. So as we view Berkeley as a special place, we were not the first to recognize, make our lives in, or celebrate the unique and exceptional place that we have the privilege to stand on.
