According to its mission statement, the Queer Resource Center "prioritizes a racial justice framework to improve campus climate through education, policy change, and campus-wide organizing."
The week's festivities also included a "leather workshop" that taught attendees "how to care for your BDSM leather so it can look great and last a long time!" According to Campus reform, a professor of Chicano and Latino Studies slammed the "cult of virginity" and the "harmful ideologies about Chicanx sexuality."
Fox News Digital reached out to Portland State University for a comment on the events. The school noted, "Sex Week is an annual event planned by Portland State's Queer Resource Center. The week of programming brings together students, the community and local organizations in demystifying queer and trans sexuality and supporting their wellness."
Hosting "sex weeks" are common practice at colleges across America.

Ohio State University, for example, previously hosted a student-led event about self-pleasure. "Treat Yourself: Masturbation and Self-Exploration," was the workshop's title.
Portland is widely recognized as one of the most far-left places politically within the United States. In late 2021, a professor resigned from Portland State over what he described as its transformation into a "Social Justice factory whose only inputs were race, gender, and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division."

Colleges have become a battleground for America's culture wars in recent years, with some Republican politicians and activists attempting to push back against progressive orthodoxy that has dominated campuses for decades. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis recently installed six new members to New College's Board of Trustees in an attempt to move the college in a more classically liberal direction. DeSantis also installed former Republican Sen. Ben Sasse as president of the University of Floirda, the state's flagship college.
