安全的空间
The 安全的空间 Committee strives to reduce homophobia, transphobia and heterosexism in the Old Dominion University community. We are dedicated to a vision of a community that is open, 安全, and accepting to all lesbian, 同性恋, 双性恋, transgender and queer or questioning people and allies. We help cultivate this climate through awareness, education, and advocacy.
