Q: Can first year students take leadership positions in LGBTQ groups?
A: Yes! To get involved, simply email the group and ask about becoming a leader. You can check out a list of LGBTQ+ student organizations here.
Q: How is the environment for out and visible queer people on campus?
A: Many LGBTQ+ folks are out and visible, but there are many students who will never come out because they are concerned about the risk involved (family could find out, physical harm concerns, fear of being bullied). This is a complicated issue and everyone’s mileage will vary. Some do not experience any trouble at all for expressing themselves while others experience harassment.
It is up to ALL of us to change the climate to be more welcoming for all of us. YOU can help make a difference by speaking out against anti-LGBTQ sentiment and reporting incidents here.
