The Safe Space sticker

The person displaying this sticker is supportive, trustworthy and sensitive to the needs and concerns of LGBTQ people. Within this person's office, classroom, room, and/or personal space, homophobic and heterosexist comments and actions will not be tolerated silently, but instead will be addressed in an educational, informative, confidential, and non-threatening manner. This person is a support, resource person, and ally, whether or not he or she is an LGBTQ person. He or she has completed the Safe Space training at Concordia.
