Coming out is a rewarding, though sometimes challenging, process.
Since the early 1970s, students at Yale University have worked hard
to ensure that this is gay-friendly and supportive environment.
Yale School of Management is part of this rich history and for many
years has been known as one of America's most diverse and accepting
business schools.
Q+: The Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Straight Alliance strives to be a
group that serves the needs of ALL students at SOM. The group recognizes
that people are at different stages of coming out--participating
in Alliance activities does not mean that you have to be out, or
even bisexual, gay, or lesbian. We endeavor to create a friendly
and welcoming environment for the discussion of sexual issues, in
and outside the classroom and workplace, and encourage your participation.
There are a variety of resources available to students at SOM who
have questions about sexual orienation:
