Welcome!

Welcome to the brand spankin' new weblog for UW-Madison's Ten Percent Society! The purpose of this blog is to bring together Madison's LGBT community by serving as a central portal for news, events, and trends, our own "community page" of sorts, if you will. To my knowledge, nothing like this has existed in Madison before, and I felt that now was the perfect time for it to happen. At a time when our community's rights are being more heavily politicized than ever before, we need to come together to fight this in any way that we can.

So, I'd like to get the ball rolling with this blog by introducing myself. My name is Joe Erbentraut, and I'm a junior here on campus. I'm originally from Lake Geneva, Wis., and am proud to now call Madison my full-time home. I am double majoring in journalism/mass communication and sociology, also pursuing a certificate in LGBT Studies.

Interested in contributing to the blog with news, opinion pieces, art, photography, or information you think that LGBT Madison needs to see? If so, then please contact me. I would love to see this blog grow into whatever it is users would like to see in the future, so let's make it happen!
