Part of our mission is awareness and education.  Apart from our peer counseling and outreach, we feel it is important to provide electronic resources to individuals who need them.  Education can be the sweetest victory of cynicism and hate, prejudice and ignorance.  Please follow the links below to view documents that can help you understand Sexual Orientation, Coming Out, and being LGBT.   Please also Check out our Suggested Reading Section.

We also have TONS of books in the office. If anyone is doing a paper on a woman and gender studies
topic or something related to queer theory or is is just interested in LGBT literature PLEASE email us.
Books are no good unless someone is reading them.
