The Hopkins group Diverse Sexuality and Gender Alliance (DSGA) is hosting Hopkins Against Hate this Friday, Oct. 8 to raise awareness of discrimination over sexuality. The event is in response to the recent coverage in the media of teenagers who committed suicide after being bullied.
The DSGA hopes to raise money for The Trevor Project, which is a national organization focusing on crisis and suicide prevent among LGBTQ youth. The event is also to encourage Hopkins students to stand up for acceptance and tolerance.
The event will take place in Nolan’s in Charles Commons, from 9 p.m. to midnight, and features three main events. The night begins with registration for groups, from 9 to 9:30 p.m., at $5 per person. You can also register ahead of time at dsaga@jhu.edu.
At 10 p.m. is the burrito eating contest, followed by a trivia contest at 10:30 p.m., and the Karaoke contest at 11:30 p.m., which promises to be the highlight of the evening. The grand prize for the competition is a $40 American Express Gift Card, one per person on the team, and the second prize is a $25 Starbucks Gift Card.
The event will also have free food and drinks. Stop by to have a good time while supporting the cause.
