Founded in 1971, the Glow Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity is longest running queer and trans student organization in Canada.

Run entirely by dedicated student volunteers, Glow promotes a healthy attitude towards all sexual orientations and gender identities at the University of Waterloo by providing a wide variety of peer support, social events, advocacy work, and resources.

For a brief period the organization produced, GLOW News, a newsletter which acted as an educational resource on homosexuality as well as a support and social group for the gay community. Edited by GLOW membership the newsletter consisted of ten issues released between December 1982 and September 1983. Copies of GLOW News are held by Special Collections & Archives [call number UWA 0120]. GLOW News is available on the Waterloo Digital Library.

The Glow Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity was previously known as Gay Liberation of Waterloo (GLOW), Gays and Lesbians of Waterloo and the Glow Queer and Questioning Community Centre.
