​LGBTQIA+ Safe Spaces at IVC

Irvine Valley College LGBTQIA+ Safe Space program aims to increase awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersexed, and asexual/agender communities on campus, to support the college’s efforts to promote an accepting, supportive, and diverse learning environment, and to create a welcoming and tolerant environment for all members of the campus community.

What is LGBTQIA+?

LGBTQIA+ is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Agender, and more. These terms can refer to a person’s sexual orientation, romantic orientation, and/or gender identity. In a move towards inclusivity, the older, shorter, acronym — LGBT — has been expanded. The language used to talk about LGBTQIA+ people is constantly evolving, new words are often created and old ones fall from prominent or accepted usage as people try to more accurately describe their diverse identities and experiences.
