Background:

CSUDH LGBTFSA was conceived in 2002 with the intent to provide a support network for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Faculty and Staff on campus and with the hope that a LGBT student club would develop as a result of faculty and staff being more visible on campus.

Purpose:

CSUDH LGBTFSA is comprised of a group of LGBT persons and friends who come together on a regular (almost monthly) basis to socialize, exchange information, and to serve as a support group. It is our intent to provide a positive setting
where LGBT persons and non LGBT persons can learn about LGBT issues in a positive setting.

Examples of Activities:

LGBTFSA Sponsors luncheons and get togethers for its members and potential new members and Friends.

LGBTFSA Brings off campus speakers on campus to train faculty and staff about how to confront homophobia.

LGBTFSA has sponsored workshops where LGBT students,
faculty & staff can share information.

LGBTFSA networks with other offices at the university
and by our very presence makes visible the existence of LGBT concerns on campus.

Future Directions:

LGBTFS would like to hold more educational Forums
that Reach the entire campus community.

LGBTFS would like to enlarge its membership and spark
creation of a student LGBT or Gay-Straight Alliance on campus.

LGBTSA would like to have its own Pride Center or similar type office
on campus.

We are open to new ideas and encourage your involvement.

If you would like to join LGBTFSA Contact
Co-chair Sharon Raphael at SRaphael@csudh.edu

Our meetings are usually located in Welch Hall in the
