Why is a Positive Space Program needed?
For many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans students, staff, and faculty, university life provides an important opportunity to “come out.” This can be a difficult and confusing time, especially if they do not have anyone to whom they can talk or do not know the groups and resources that are available. Program participants can provide this information and support. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans students, staff, and faculty will benefit by working in an environment where they are made to feel welcome. By establishing the Positive Space Program, Queen’s is making this campus a more inclusive and comfortable place for all community members.
