PRIDE - Alma College's Gay-Straight Alliance

PRIDE

 

Pride (Alma College Gay-Straight Alliance), is a campus organization for students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual, their friends, and allies. PRIDE is a safe place for students to meet, support each other, talk about issues related to sexual orientation, and work to end homophobia. The purpose of this group is to provide support to students and to inform the college community about issues which are of concern to the GLBT community.
