ABOUT US
Established in 1991, the Rainbow Alliance at Saint Louis
University is an advocacy and support group for gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender, questioning students and their allies.
MISSION
Rainbow Alliance’s mission is to sponsor educational and social
activities to affirm the dignity and self-worth of gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender, questioning students and their allies in
a manner consistent with Roman Catholic moral teaching on human
sexuality and the Catholic Jesuit identity of the University.
OBJECTIVES
-
Advocacy and
support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning
students and their allies.
-
Provide
educational resources and events for the Saint Louis
University community on GLBT issues.
-
Promote the
eradication of prejudice and discrimination based on sexual
orientation and gender identity.
We at the Rainbow
Alliance are determined and committed to maintaining trust with
the members. One’s sexual orientation and the process of “coming
out” can be a very stressful time, but issues of confidentiality
and fear of “outing” should not prevent members or potential
members from participating – and there is great benefit for
members to participate, as they come into contact with people
who are going through or who have gone through their situation.
Participating in the group also builds bonds of friendship, as
well as provide a much needed peer and social support.
If you have any further questions, or need more information,
please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Staff of the Rainbow Alliance at Saint Louis University
