Santa Clara students celebrated sexual diversity last week by creating a space that allowed students to be vocal and proud of their sexual orientation on National Coming Out Day.

Standing at 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing in at 261 pounds, a defensive end out of Missouri will go down as the most significant pick of 2014. His name is Michael Sam, and he is openly gay.

University officials rejected an appeal to allow Jonathan Hunyh, an unaffiliated performer, to participate in this year’s drag show.

On the night of Friday, Jan. 24, sophomore Alex Golding went out with his friends but was kicked out of an off-campus party for being openly gay.

Santa Clara students have the opportunity to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year by attending the fourth annual Rainbow Prom.
