Unlike more visible underrepresented groups, lesbian, bisexual, gay, and
transgender persons cannot be readily identified. Likewise, there is no
easy method of identifying supportive or hostile persons on gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender issues. Thus people new to the community often
experience isolation and loneliness because of the inability to identify
an empathetic and supportive community. Even locating simple information
can become risky and logistically difficult because of few open networks,
directories, and resources. |

• Safe Zones
has been created to respond to the needs of the Trinity community. The
goal of the program is to provide a more hospitable environment for gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) persons by establishing an identifiable
group of supportive persons who can provide support, information, and
a safe haven for GLBT persons within the Trinity community.
