Each year, the Gender + Sexuality Resource Center hosts Pride Month, which corresponds to the national Campus Pride Months across the country. The purpose of which is to celebrate, honor, center, and create community for LGBTQIA+ students and staff.

This year, our Keynote event on April 3rd will be a conversation with Harvey Guillén. Harvey is a queer, Latinx actor whose life experiences with his body size, family and their immigration story, and his queerness have shaped his approach to his craft. From Harvey’s bio: GLAAD award-winning actor and producer Harvey Guillén’s inventive and creative approach to acting has won the hearts of fans across the globe in the Emmy nominated FX comedy series “What We Do In the Shadows.” Guillén’s role as "Guillermo De la Cruz" earned him a Critics Choice Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Guillen made LGBTQ+ Latinx History by becoming the first queer Latinx actor to be nominated in this category.

In the series created by Jermaine Clement and based on the Taika Waititi film of the same name, Guillén stars alongside Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry and Natasia Demetriou and Mark Proksch. “What We Do In The Shadows” has been included on over 50 “Best of” lists including The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker. The shows season four finale premiered in September 2022 and is currently renewed for its fifth and sixth seasons.

The event will be moderated by the Assistant Director of the Gender + Sexuality Resource Center, Eric Anglero.
