Are there any LGBTQIA+ Pupil Groups on campus?
There are many student-run queer groups and groups that are identified as queer friendly. The Queer Collective will be a new approach to our student-led discussion groups. Be on the lookout for more information.
What activities are sponsored on campus for LGBTQIA+ students?
The Rainbow Center offers events such as social gatherings (Friday Night Socials) and academic lectures (Out to Lunch – Wednesdays). In addition, there are events planned throughout the semester, such as concerts, educational workshops/lectures, game nights, and more. October is LGBTQIA+ History Month, so there tends to be extra programming then.

Do LGBTQ-related bias incidents occur on campus?
Unfortunately, yes, as with most institutions across the nation. One can report a bias incident to the Rainbow Center, the UConn Police, Office of Institutional Equity, or any other cultural center. To observe the number of bias crimes that occur on campus, please refer to the UConn Police’s Uniform Crime Inform (UCR).

“Queer Youth” Traveling Photo Essay Vandalized at UConn
By Sylvia Cunningham
Rachelle Lee Smith’s traveling photo essay, which was installed on March 1 into an art gallery at UConn, has been seen by people all over the world. But, for the first second in the exhibit’s history, “Speaking OUT: Queer Youth in Focus,” was vandalized.
“What happened was they entered the art gallery and used Sharpie marker to deface three of the photographs there,” said Ben Plant, a student on the Rainbow Center staff and Green Crew who helped install the exhibit.
The person or people who vandalized “Speaking OUT: Homosexual Youth In Focus” also wrote “God hates the guys” in the logbook for visitors. (Photo courtesy Philly Magazine)
Rachelle Lee Smith’s photo essay comprises dozens of portraits of homosexual youth with handwritten messages. According to UConn spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz, the vandalism to the works likely occurred sometime overnight Thursday into Friday.

LGBTQ+ Student Organizations

Prestigious LGBT Friendly School?
Humbly1
Hi. I am planning on transferring as a Junior applicant from UConn next year. My residence state is New York, and I am looking for a school that is relatively LGBT warm and also considered a good school.
My GPA is really good here at UConn, but I hold felt it is just not a fit for me, and the kids are not my type of people by all means. Anyways, I am looking into schools in California as they look LGBT friendly, however, I would like to realize if any other schools are well-known and LGBT friendly. As of now, I am looking into UCSD, UCSB, UCLA, UC Irvine, and USC. I am VERY well attentive that these are very expensive schools for OOS students!
If anyone has any other suggestions, please allow me know! Thanks.
Also, my major is somewhat competitive/impacted.

The schools you have listed, especially USC and UCLA, all appear to be LGBT+ amiable as far as I can tell. I also recommend looking at San Diego State University, University of California Davis and San Francisco State University. Most liberal schools and LGBT+ friendl
