What is LGBTQ Ally Training?
LGBTQ Ally Training is a program implemented at various colleges and
universities across the country. It is designed to educate the
community about personal, sociological and political issues faced by
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning people. Through
education and advocacy, Safe Zone strives to foster a safe, affirming,
and socially just environment for the LGBT community.
How to Become an Ally
An LGBTQ+ ally is a straight or cisgender person who actively supports and advocates for the rights and inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals. This support goes beyond simply being accepting; it involves actively challenging discrimination, educating oneself about LGBTQ+ issues, and creating a more inclusive environment. To participate in LGBTQ Ally Training, contact the Counseling Center at 502.272.8480. Trainings are typically offered once per semester.
