GLBT Aggies
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Aggies (GLBT Aggies) is an officially recognized student group at Texas A&M University. Originally known as Gay Student Services (GSS), the organization was officially recognized by Texas A&M University in 1985 after a lengthy court battle.
== History ==
In the spring semester of 1976, a group of Texas A&M students organized a gay support group. In April of that year Michael Minton, Michael Garrett, and Sherri Skinner approached John Koldus, the Texas A&M Vice President for Student Affairs, and requested limited recognition for an organization to support gay issues. The students did not want full university recognition, which included partial funding from student fees as well as official office space in the Student Programs Office, because several of their members wished to be discreet about their sexual orientation. Instead, the group requested only meeting space on campus and the right to post notices on school bulletin boards and in the student newspaper.〔Pinello (2003), p. 57.〕 Koldus informed the students that the university did not offer limited recognition, and that to gain the access they had asked for the students must apply for full official status.〔Pinello (2003), p. 58.〕 What followed was the lengthy court battle ''Gay Student Services v. Texas A&M University''. At the conclusion of the litigation, GSS was recognized as an official student organization by legal decision in April 1985. Over the years, the name of the organization has evolved to be more inclusive. Today GLBT Aggies is an organization for queer people and straight allies alike where anyone is welcome to join regardless of how they identify.
