College can be a time to explore your sexual and gender identities, and many students will come out as queer or transgender or solidify their identities at CU Boulder.
We are also mindful that LGBTQ+ students may experience disproportionate discrimination, harassment, threats and violence. At CAPS, we are committed to supporting the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ students through gender- and identity-affirming services.
