The LGBT Center is a space that serves all members of the CWRU community, and remains dedicated to offering/creating support for individuals of various intersecting identities. On this page there are resources for the LGBTQ+ people of color.
This page is not meant to be an exhaustive list of resources, but hopefully offers some helpful ones. If there is a resource not listed, please contact the LGBT Center and we can add it! Also, this page is not in any way excluding any race/ethnicity, nor favoring one over the other. It is not here to create a divide, but is creating space for various marginalized groups. Over time and with research, this page will grow and the resources are grouped together for easier navigation.
