摘要：Two years ago, a satirical column in the Engineering undergraduate comic newspaper elicited complaints and the accusation of homophobia from the university community. Engineering students, faculty and staff responded with several initiatives to counteract being stereotyped as homophobic. The Lady Godiva Bnad (sic), which had always marched in the Toronto Gay Pride Parade, actually built a float and set off the cannon, winning the (perhaps only ever) Shock and Awe Award. Faculty members, staff and students formed an Engineering Positive Space committee and, with the student group, LGBTQase (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and Allies in Science and Engineering), developed a poster that raised awareness of the diverse sexuality of engineering students as well as an Engineering Positive Space badge with a unique "engineering" variation of the Positive Space rainbow triangle.
