Many SF State students choose to study at our University because they feel safe coming out in San Francisco and on campus. As part of the strongest and most vibrant LGBTQ community in the world, our programs have a direct effect on the LGBTQ movement and on LGBTQ youth who carry the ethos of equity and inclusion with them when they graduate.
