General Information
LGBT is an initialism that stands for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender”. It may refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual, non-heteroromantic, or non-cisgender, instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.
Our History
Pride Student Union emerged in 1969 as the People’s Coalition For Gay Rights in response to the Stonewall Riots, known by many as the catalyst of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The People’s Coalition For Gay Rights changed its name several times throughout the 1970s-2000s, finally becoming Pride Student Union in 2005. Under these many names, Pride has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights on campus and in the local community. We convinced campus officials to include sexual orientation and gender identity in FSU’s non-discrimination policies and won the fight for the creation of All Gender Restrooms on campus. Additionally, Pride has long worked with legislators to advance LGBTQ+ equality at the local, state, and national levels. Today, Pride continues working towards LGBTQ+ equality and provides programming for students to get involved with the LGBTQ+ community.
