 NDSCS: A Place for Everyone. |
|
| All students, faculty and staff deserve to learn in an environment that’s supportive and friendly, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. Anti-GLBT bias and prejudice affects all members of the campus community, and it is everyone’s collective responsibility to work against it. An ally understands that standing up for GLBT rights is not a “gay thing,” but a human rights issue about which all people should be concerned. |
| The main purpose of the NDSCS Safe Space program is to visibly mark people and places that are “safe” for GLBT students. The Safe Space sticker on a door, window or other recognizable place lets others know that the individual located there is a safe person, or ally, to approach for support and guidance. Safe Space Allies are not personal counselors, but they offer a safe place to for GLBT individuals to be themselves. An ally listens. An ally respects confidentiality. An ally offers support, personally and through outside resources and referrals. An ally understands! |
