SLC Alliance Club

The goal for ‘The Alliance’ club is to form an alliance and positive relationships between gay and straight students to fight homophobia, isolation, marginalization, violence, and exclusion in the community. The Alliance promotes acceptance, respect, and tolerance of all individuals regardless of racial background, socio-economic status, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. Join us to help raise awareness and promote education about homophobia and other forms of sexual oppression.
