Big Queer Photo 2026!

Hundreds of people in matching rainbow terrapin shell T-shirt posing for the Big Queer Photo with a signed banner in front of McKeldin Library

Last Friday, hundreds of students, staff, faculty and alumni gathered for a visible display of support for Queer and Trans Terps! The third annual Big Queer Photo featured (of course) a giant class photo in matching rainbow terrapin shell T-shirts—this year in trans pride flag colors, a giant picnic, and a giant amount of  joy in community.

The event was featured in the Diamondback: UMD community members gather for 3rd annual Big Queer Photo and on Maryland Today. Congratulations to the LGBTQ+ Equity Center team for a third-in-a-row success!
