The LGBT community at Johns Hopkins University seems to be getting more organized by the minute.
Since the spring, three new efforts to connect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and community members have launched -- one led by university students, one by university alumni and one by the university itself.
"It's the outcome of a lot of work from a lot of people," said Demere Woolway, 30, hired in July to be the first director of the university's new LGBTQ Life program. "There's sort of a confluence of things."
Woolway's position, and the program, are the result of a proposal put forward by the university's Diversity Leadership Council, which "recognized the need for more support for LGBT folks as well as more education on sexual orientation and gender identity," Woolway said.
