2021 Out and Ally List
This is the second year of our Out and Ally List! If you would like be included in
the 2021 list, please complete the following short form by Sunday, October 31st at
5pm: tinyurl.com/rccoutally21
By submitting your name to the Out and Ally list, you are committing to the following
statement:
We list our names here as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual,
Two-Spirit (LGBTQIA2+) and ally students, staff, faculty, and administrators at Riverside
City College. We know that coming out is a personal decision that is made continually
over one's lifetime. We understand that it can be an empowering and rewarding process,
but that it also comes with varying levels of risk to one's emotional and physical
safety, as well as financial and basic needs security. We acknowledge that all of
our experiences are real and valid, whether or not we can or choose to be "out and
proud" at this time.
No matter where you are on your journey, we will welcome you, listen to you, work
with you, support you, advocate for you, and connect you with any resources you may
need. We are committed to dismantling the homophobia, transphobia, and other systemic
oppressions that marginalize LGBTQIA2+ people, and actively working toward a more
inclusive and equitable campus environment.
LGBTQIA2+ Historical Heroes
An opportunity to learn (more) about LGBTQIA2+ people, past and present, who have
made a significant impact on LGBTQIA2+ culture, rights, visibility, support, and equity.
One person per day will be highlighted on campus, Canvas, and social media throughout the month of October!
