Membership is open to all LGBT-friendly students and faculty with the payment of dues fee. "LGBT-friendly" means that members don't judge people based soley on sexual orientation and are willing to listen to or even participate in discussions or events that are gay-themed (such as a movie or information table). This requirement insures that our LGBT members have a safe space on campus in which they can be sure that peopole surrounding them will not judge, mock, or otherwise harm them.
