LGBTQ 101 with Safe Space!

Thanks to everyone who showed up!
We had a great training session, and those of us who are interested in completing our "offical" ally training are looking forward to the longer session coming up in October.

For all those who are interested, the session included different activities that allowed us as participants to think about the different conceptions and stereotypes that we have about the LGBTQ community. We also got the chance to learn about different LGBTQ terms that we might not have known before, as well as how to be better allies to our LGBTQ students.

If you are interested in attending a training, I posted Safe Space's description and contact information below.

SAFE SPACE

Purpose:
Safe Space is a gay / straight alliance dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding about sexual orientation by providing education and training to the university community and staying informed of political developments to create better Safe Space providers.

Functions:
We give monthly trainings designed to educate people about issues within the community. Our trainings focus on evaluating stereotypes and looking at heterosexism and homophobia in society, and our primary goal is to create allies supportive of the glbt community.
