This is an outlet for creative minds, to put it simply. As a reflection of The Gender and Sexuality Resource Center at The University at Albany-SUNY, it is our mission to create a sense of openness and inclusiveness for all. This ‘zine is a testament to our dedication to the LGBTQ community and all of the allies. Here you can find a variety of individuals with a variety of identities, yet all to achieve the same goal…Expression of Self! In an environment fostered by support and positivity, we hope this ‘zine will allow for the growth necessary to help us spread love and acceptance in all circumstances.
