Safe Space is a training designed to give you the tools and knowledge you need to be an effective ally. This training session will be conducted by Struby Struble, coordinator of the <a href=\"http:\/\/lgbtq.missouri.edu\/\">LGBTQ Center<\/a>. The session will take place March 29, from 1:00 \u2013 3:00 p.m. room 4F51-A Ellis Library.<\/p>\n<p>What is Safe Space? Participants in the training learn about the challenges of homophobia,\u00a0campus resources, and how to be supportive to members of the LGBTQ\u00a0community. At the conclusion of the training, participants have the\u00a0option to display a Safe Space symbol as a signal to LGBTQ individuals\u00a0that they maintain a safe and affirming environment. Homophobic and\u00a0heterosexist comments, language, and actions will not be allowed in a\u00a0Safe Space, but they will be addressed in an educational and informative manner.<\/p>\n<p>The Safe Space symbol sends a message to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students, faculty, and staff that people displaying it are understanding and supportive resources for LGBTQ or\u00a0ally individuals who are seeking help, advice or simply someone with\u00a0whom they can talk. Those who identify as LGBTQ are members of often\u00a0invisible minority groups and so are their allies and friends. The\u00a0Safe Space Program is designed to help LGBTQ people identify\u00a0supportive people and offices. Students, faculty, and staff are\u00a0invited to become Safe Space allies in order to make the allies of the\u00a0LGBTQ community more visible so that LGBTQ students, faculty, and\u00a0staff can easily identify places where they can feel at ease because\u00a0they know that they will not face discrimination due to their sexual\u00a0orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.<\/p>\n<p>RSV\u2019s are requested for head count purposes; send to Leo at <a href=\"mailto:AgnewL@missouri.edu\">AgnewL@missouri.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MU Libraries\u2019 Diversity Action Committee invites you to learn to be a resource for LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) and ally students, faculty and staff on campus.
