Princeton University - QUEERING THE COLOR LINE

Women's Center (Frist 243)1 Frist LanePrinceton, NJ, 08544United States (map)
The Princeton University LGBT Center supports and empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual students and employees by providing community-building, education, events and initiatives. Our work seeks to affirm and help students explore their many identities, including a/sexuality, a/gender, race, ability, religion and class.

While we center the needs and experiences of LGBTQIA students, we serve the entire campus community, through training, consultation and advocacy.

Note: We use the phrasing “a/sexuality” and “a/gender” to acknowledge that sexual and gender diversity includes people who identify as asexual and agender, as well as those who identify with a particular sexuality and gender.

Vision-

A Princeton University community that is fully equitable and inclusive of all identities, and people of all a/sexual orientations and a/gender identities feel they belong, are valued and respected.

Values-

• Undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, staff and faculty of all identities are welcome.

• Students’ needs, interests and passions are the drivers of our programming and initiatives.

• We seek to identify, address and reduce racism, heterosexism, misogyny, cissexism, ableism and other forms of discrimination on campus.

• Deepening and developing partnerships, both inside and outside of the University, makes our work more effective and far-reaching.

• Everyone is at a different place in their learning processes, and we do not shame or turn away anyone who wants to authentically engage.

• We approach our work with a historical analysis of discrimination and injustice to serve the campus more intentionally and equitably.

• There is no one way to be LGBTQIA at Princeton.
