Lavender Graduation
The Lavender Graduation was created by Dr. Ronni Sanlo, a Jewish lesbian keynote speaker in LGBT communities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Ronni )〕 The Lavender Graduation is an annual ceremony conducted on campuses nationwide to honor LGBT students and to acknowledge their accomplishments and contributions to the Universities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lavender Graduation )〕 It is an informal part of the graduation ceremony that compliments the LGBT students and allies, not a replacement of it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lavender Graduation tradition celebrates LGBT students )〕 Dr. Sanlo began this tradition because she was denied access to attend her own children's graduations due to her sexual orientation. Dr. Sanlo herself mentions that up "until 1995, there were no ceremonies to honor our LGBT students. There were only ceremonies for students of various ethnicities and for other groups like ROTC, but nothing for our students, those to tend to feel most disenfranchised from their colleges and universities."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lavender Graduation: A Time for Celebration )〕
The first Lavender Graduation took place at the University of Michigan in 1995 with three graduates. In 1997 Dr. Sanlo took the Lavender Graduation with her to UCLA, which became an instant success. and by 2001 there were over 45 campuses nationwide participating in Lavender Graduation Ceremonies.〔 These ceremonies provide a positive last experience for LGBT students and allies, which encourages them to be more involved in their communities.
==Ceremony==
The Lavender Graduation Ceremony is more than just a graduation ceremony, it is a time for recognition and inspiration, connections and accomplishments, and best of all, it is a celebration. Like all ceremonies, the Lavender Graduation also has a commencement speaker. This speaker can be a student or someone with a connection to the university.〔
Attendees do not strictly have to be an LGBT member. They can be of any sexual orientation and do not have to miss their own graduations. Special ceremonies, like the Lavender Graduation, are usually held well before the formal commencement begins.
