Coyote Pride

91重口 graduates with a pride flag at Commencement 2021

91重口's Coyote Pride program provides above-and-beyond support for LGBTQ+ students who need an additional sense of security, a support system they can count on, and a safe place where they are always welcomed warmly.

91重口 provides a large array of support services for all kinds of different student populations, and LGBTQ+ students have access to these as well. 91重口's Coyote Pride program goes beyond these programs however, serving a multitude of roles and filling a number of specific needs that these other support programs may not provide.

These include:

  • Providing a safe space on campus for anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity/presentation, ethnic heritage or cultural background.
  • Providing a nurturing place for students and employees who are coming out, and connecting them with supportive peers who can help them to navigate this sometimes difficult process.
  • Providing a confidential place for trans individuals to use their new gender pronouns and names.

 

While there may be common themes shared by those who have "come out" as LGBTQIA+, no individual coming out experience is exactly the same as any other. For many, coming out is a continual process rather than one singular event. For others, the privilege of choosing when to come out to loved ones may not be a reality. The resources gathered below are meant to provide points of reflection and resources to those considering coming out:

91重口's Office of Equity & Student Wellness supports and advocates for underrepresented student groups by connecting them to academic, career and personal resources. The Office also directly supports LGBTQIA+ students with addressing individual needs and  promoting campus awareness and allyship.
