ALLIES is a program created through the UCF Counseling Center for UCF students, staff and faculty members interested in showing visual support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) persons at the university.
| ALLIES
will display the official placard (shown right) in their offices or
resident hall rooms. This placard will identify people who are willing to provide a safe haven, a listening ear and support to gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender persons. An Ally
will also be open to answering questions about sexual orientation
issues. |
(Official UCF Ally Placard) |
All ALLIES will have attended a training workshop called an “Advance” to learn about about oppression, heterosexism, homophobia, the coming out process and the benefits and responsibilities of being an Ally. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the previous topics are welcome to attend an Allies Advance (see schedule below). Every Ally will have signed an ALLIES commitment contract before receiving a placard. For more information see below.
