Advocacy & Support
LGBTQA Climate in Burlington
Burlington hosts Vermont’s annual Pride event in September. In 2010, the Advocate ranked Burlington as the "second gayest" city in
America, ciing Vermont's many "out" civic leaders and its commiment to social jusice advocacy.
Campus Climate
The University of Vermont has a visible, strong, and vibrant LGBTQA community including an acive LGBTQA curriculum presence
throughout campus. In 2012, UVM ranked in the top 10 Trans-Friendly Colleges and Universiies and among the top 25 LGBTQ-friendly
campuses by Campus Pride. Many faculty and staff publicly display rainbow cards that say, “LGBTQA Affirming” (available at the
LGBTQA Center). Check out UVM’s LGBTQ faculty and staff web directory under Community on our website at
htp://go.uvm.edu/lgbtqa
Policies and Laws
UVM’s non-discriminaion and ani-harrassment policies include sexual orientaion and gender idenity or expression. The City of Burlington
and the state of Vermont prohibit discriminaion on the same grounds. All health insurance sold in Vermont must cover transgender health
care.
Transgender Inclusion
UVM provides a trans-inclusive campus environment with the help of a wide variety of campus partners. Many trans* people have quesions
about housing, bathroom and athleic faciliies, campus safety, as well as health and wellbeing, to name just a few. Addiionally, UVM is proud
to have been a leader in providing a system by which students may change their names and pronouns, as recognized by the New York Times in
2015, so that they can be recognized as who they are both in the classroom and around campus. Visit our Trans* Info page for details at
htp://go.uvm.edu/transinfo
