Dear collegiettes,
In honor of Pride Month, I am thrilled to introduce you to HC’s newest section, launching today: our LGBTQ+ section! This section has been in our minds and in the works for a long time, and I am so excited to see it come to fruition now.
Our mission at Her Campus is to serve college women—and that means all college women—and I know this section will help us further that mission by providing content, entertainment and advice that will help even more collegiettes get the most out of their experiences.
Our LGBTQ+ section will cover everything from weightier topics, like trans* body image, dealing with crushing on a straight friend and safe same-sex sex, to lighter topics, like a queer summer reading list, our favorite LGBTQ+ characters on TV and articles that poke fun at things those in the queer community are sick of hearing. And this is just a taste of what’s to come!
We have an incredible team of writers from colleges and universities across the country who are contributing to this section under the direction of our amazing LGBTQ+ Editor, Anna Borges, and our talented Senior Editor, Michelle Lewis.
No matter how you identify, I hope you’ll poke around our LGBTQ+ section to see all that it has to offer and check back regularly to see what’s new (you’ll find new content here multiple times per week). Whether you consider yourself a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally or just someone who wishes you knew more than you did, you’ll find content here that will broaden your horizons and help you better understand the experiences of other students on your campus and beyond.
I am so proud to have this section as the newest addition to Her Campus, helping us do a better job of fulfilling our mission as both a trusted resource and procrastination tool for collegiettes everywhere. I know this section is just the start of fostering an important dialogue about what it means to be a college woman today, and I am grateful that Her Campus will have the opportunity to participate in that conversation.
Welcome to Her Campus, LGBTQ+ collegiettes! Check out the new section here!
HC Love,
Stephanie Kaplan
Co-founder, CEO & Editor-in-Chief
