Time and time again, it’s been shown that despite being one of the Campus Pride’s “Best for Best'' schools for LGBTQ+ students, Ithaca College has an issue with “queer Hierarchy.” For context, “queer Hierarchy” is a theory that addresses an unspoken caste system within the LGBTQ+ community that centers specific identities (white, gay, cis men) at the top and pushes others (BIPOC, trans, etc.) even further down the social ladder. Many of the college's organizations and clubs make great efforts to make our queer students feel welcomed in their dedicated spaces.

Ajamu X's section of the "On Our Backs: The Revolutionary Art of Queer Sex Work" exhibition in the Handwerker gallery displays queer literature.
