San Diego State University's LGBT student group, formerly called the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Student Union at San Diego State University, has changed its name to "Queer Student Union" and the change is not being received well by everyone, FOX5 San Diego reports:
“We're here and next year, we're queer,” junior and president-elect Thomas Negron said
A move to be more inclusive, President Michael Manacop and Negron said “queer” is the easiest way to encompass all of the gender and sexual identities on campus without getting too wordy…
…Some older faculty members expressed concerns over the name change when the story was first reported in the Daily Aztec.
“It doesn't seem like something you'd want to be called,” sophomore Jake Neely said. “I was always taught not to use (certain) words and… that was definitely one of them that shouldn't really be said in my house.”
