Gay Rub at Loyola Marymont University

Join LGBTSS in celebrating our 10 year anniversary by attending our returning event The Gay Rub. Originally hosted by LGBTSS in 2014, The Gay Rub art instillation first displayed here at LMU. The Gay Rub is a project devoted to collecting rubbings from GLBTQ historical markers, signs, tombstones, cenotaphs, plaques, and monuments. By gathering GLBTQ rubbings from across the globe, these public historic commemorations can be viewed at once. GLBT history and landmarks are underrepresented and under appreciated. The Gay Rub’s aim is to help draw more attention to the markers and the GLBT significance that prompted them.

This year the instillation will be returning to commemorate our 10 year anniversary and to highlight the place in LGBTQ History the office of LGBT Student Services represents. There will be a brief program with speakers from various departments on campus and a screening of a documentary made about the instillation itself.
