On November 15, QSA organized a Queer Solidarity March in response to the 17-page document the Archdiocese of Denver released to local Catholic school administrators. This document provided a series of guidelines regarding how Catholic schools should deal with LGBTQ issues, which stirred up a significant amount of controversy at Regis University. Among the controversial declarations included a series of prohibitions such as same-sex couples attending school dances, recognizing same-sex marriages as a family structure, requests to be addressed by a different pronoun, nor affirming a transgender identity. Further, the guidance states, “enrollment or re-enrollment of such a student at a Catholic school would not be appropriate.”
Members from the Regis community, including faculty, staff, and students, gathered in support of the queer and trans community.
