Poppers On The Heights: Dan & Gay Announce LGBTQ+ Resource Center
Big IssuesSex September 26, 2025 The New England Classic
CONTE FORUM — Sashay away, homophobes! Bisexuals, trans gals, and nonbinary pals can now spend “10,000 Hours” accessing resources and support here on the Heights. At their Poppers on the Heights performance, music duo and rumored romantic pair, Dan and Gay, announced Boston College will finally open an independent and “super-slay” resource center. Despite continuous attempts by various student involvement groups, the Queer Leadership Council, and Dean Letourneau, the University has resisted opening a resource center for members of the LGBTQIAP2+ community. Apparently, all it took was one “pwetty pwease” from Dan and Gay to save all of the university’s queer folks. And that’s on periodt!
The Classic had the opportunity to ask some questions about the new center. Here’s what Dan (of Dan and Gay) said: “this isn’t going to be your average LGBTQ+ Resource Center. This center is going to sparkle and shimmer! Highlights include a coffee bar operated by non-binary baristas in a polycule, weekly Drag Race watch parties, complimentary poppers, and monthly pronoun parades.”
The planned name for the building is the Florence A. Grisham Center. Its opening ceremony will feature a Chappel Roan lookalike (just some random ginger exchange student) and a death drop contest. In a similar manner to 4Boston and PULSE, the F. A. Grisham Center will offer service opportunities for students. Queer Eagles (or Queergles) will primarily serve at elementary schools. At local schools, they will offer students the opportunity to change their pronouns.
In addition to their volunteer program, the F. A. Grisham Center has already selected its first initiative. They will petition the university to change its key saying “men and women for others” to “men, women, and non-binary people for additional valued community members.” The new slogan includes all people and does not force the term other on anyone.
“I’m actually really excited that they’re making all of those ones stay in one building. I don’t know why they’d even choose to be gay and attend a Catholic school,” said Homey Fobe (CSOM ‘28).
It appears that Fobe seems to think the center is a holding cell for queer students before the university ships them off to Emerson College. His misunderstanding is especially concerning when considering Fobe clocks a daily average of three and a half hours on Grindr. Do not fret, Fobe; the new resource center will provide plenty of support for internalized homophobia.
