In 2024, hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills continue to attack the civil rights of queer people, especially BIPOC & trans youth. Within this socio-political landscape, many queer & trans folks face discrimination, particularly in healthcare & educational settings.
We must remain vigilant & take action to stand with LGBTQ+ communities. We provide an open & inclusive environment for all our UCSF community.
