It's so important to see our community
coming together around this common concept that is love.
Today is Valentine's Day.
And we are celebrating it as a part of the LGBTQ Center.
This is something we've been doing for 10 years,
standing on the rotunda steps, singing the good old song.
The LGBTQ Center is a space for everyone, queer and allied.
We host a bunch of different programs
It's a place where people can just be.
For 10 years, we've had shirts that say, love is love.
And this year, we wanted to give people
the opportunity to kind of fill in the blank for themselves.
And so we left a literal blank line.
By leaving a blank at the end of the phrase,
we hope to start a dialogue about how to make the world
a place where all people know that they're
loved and can love freely.
It's just been a wonderful day to see people
coming together and sharing in this beautiful mystical thing
that is love.
(SINGING) Let's all join hands and give a yell for dear
old UVA.
[CHANTING] Wah hoo wah, Wah hoo wah, UVV, Virginia!
Hoo rah ray, hoo rah ray, ray, ray, UVA!
