What is Safe Zone?

A Safe Zone is a place where you can feel free to talk about being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered without fear of criticism or hatred. It is a place where you can feel not only supported, but affirmed. It is a place where you are not only accepted, but valued. Look for the Safe Zone sign:

Safe Zone sign

People displaying this sign have taken a Safe Zone training workshop and have signed a pledge to be positive, supportive, and affirming to students, staff, and faculty who wish to talk about being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered. In a Safe Zone, you are free to be yourself.
