Coming Out Support Group - Now Weekly

A safe, informal space for U of I students to listen, discuss, and learn aspects of identity and coming out. This group is open to all lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, and questioning students and those who do not choose to label themselves. We welcome all undergraduate and graduate students regardless of where you are in the coming out process.  Our discussion depends on what participants would like to talk about each week, and we discuss topics such as coming out to family, friends, and roommates, coming out at work and church, and dating as well as other topics.  We always respect your privacy and confidentiality.  We ask that students who are interested sign up by emailing comingout@illinois.edu.  Once there are enough members to form a group, the leader, Jackie Beard, will email those who have signed up and the group will meet Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00 pm in room 317, Illini Union.  For more information or questions, please email comingout@illinois.edu
