Happy Coming Out Day!
|
|
|
|
|
October 11th is National Coming Out Day and we wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate all of our LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff! We know that it's not always easy to live your truth in our current socio-political climate, so we just wanted to say thank you for being you!
|
Also, please keep in mind that 'coming out' may not be everyone's goal, or in everyone's best interest. Each individual story possesses its own nuance and beauty. Whether they don't feel safe, supported, or are still amidst their own self-discovery there are a lot of reasons why someone might not want to be 'out.'
|
Regardless of whether you are out or not, know that you are loved, you are visible, you matter, and the Center for Diversity & Inclusion staff is always here for you. Claim space and live unapologetically. You are beautiful.

The Truman State University Safe Zone Program was created to have a network of knowledgeable faculty and staff in order to create safe and welcoming environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) people. Completing the training and displaying a Safe Zone sign indicates participants are committed to increasing their knowledge of LGBTQ issues and challenging homophobic and heterosexist comments or behaviors in an educational and informative manner. Safe Zone members are able to provide assistance as needed, including referrals to University Counseling Services.

Summer Pennell, Assistant Professor of English Education and longtime LGBTQ education activist, and student interns will lead this interactive training. Participants will learn current terminology and simple ways to create a welcoming campus environment.
