Thank you for your interest in the Gender and Sexuality Peer Education Program. Our Peer Educators serve as supportive and accessible resources for students with questions or concerns relating to the issues facing sexual and gender diverse identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, and questioning students. As part of their outreach efforts, Gender and Sexuality Peer Educators also attempt to inform the larger University community to issues of misogynoir, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism, and stereotyping of LGBTQIA people.
