Welcome to our blog for all things Queer @ the University of Michigan! There are so many unique experiences that students in our queer and allied community have here at UM – and this is a place for EVERYONE to share these experiences. If you are interested in adding YOUR voice and experiences to the blog, send us a message at queerumichtumblr@umich.edu. You can contact us about contributing regularly, or simply send what you would like to be posted.
Note: In this blog, we use “queer” as an umbrella term to refer to a vast spectrum of identities including people who identify as: bisexual, transgender, lesbian, same-gender-loving, questioning, asexual, gay, non-labeling, and anyone else who does not strictly identify as heterosexual or cisgender. The views expressed in this blog are those of individuals, and do not represent the views of the Spectrum Center.

The new version of Apple’s iPhone operating system iOS6 comes with new emojis, the popular emoticons that are often used in texting and email. Two of these new pictograms represent gay and lesbian couples for the first time.
The icons are placed next to the previous relationship-related emojis showing a heterosexual couple holding hands and a heterosexual couple with a son. One shows two men holding hands. The other shows two women in the same position.
Even though the gay/lesbian couples don’t have any facial expression, I appreciate the new thoughtful addition.
