The Queer People of Color club, Queer Straight Alliance club and the LGBTQ Resource Center partnered to host an event Tuesday in honor of National Coming Out Day. “We all know as queer and trans people that you don’t just come out once. We come out to ourselves first, we come out to certain people in our lives multiple times and then we also come out in workplaces and at school. It’s an ongoing thing. It’s not just a one time thing, so we wanted to talk about doing that experience multiple times,” said Destiny Caro, event coordinator and member of the Queer People of Color. About 15 people attended the event, which was held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Titan Student Union. The event featured a panel that discussed topics including the stress and fear associated with coming out to friends and family, the shared support within the LGBTQ community, the intersectionality of race and gender and the importance of family in spite of not always being understood, Caro said.

Tournaments bring students together Billiards and Poker competitions were held in the TBB. KALEB STEWART Daily Titan The worlds of competitive pool and poker came together Tuesday night in the TSU Underground as both a billiards tournament and a Texas Hold ‘em Tournament took place within the same room. Daniel Guerrero, who oversaw the Texas Hold ‘em Tournament for ASI, spoke of facilitating conversations with students. He said it allows him to build a different sort of connection with students, despite his lack of knowledge of the subject at hand. “I barely know how to play,” Guerrero said. Thi Nguyen, a staff member for the Center for Leadership and Eric Marshall, a CSUF student, could be heard facilitating conversations of their very own.
“Next round I am gonna clean house really fast,” Nguyen said to Marshall, the two having just met in their first match of the tournament. “I’m warmed up now. You’re in trouble,” Nguyen said in a response. Nguyen had played billiards competitively for three years, participating in numerous tournaments. She said she felt that if she were on top of her game, the round would already be over. “It is like riding a bike, you have to continue practicing to stay good,” Nguyen said. Marshall describes his skill level as being more intermediate, having only been seriously playing billiards for seven months. He had begun playing the game in bars just for the fun of it after turning 21. “I like the whole strategy that you have to put into it,” Marshall said. “It is like geometry. I’m in electrical engineering so I’m around alot of math.” SEE GAMES
