The Community: A GLBST Alliance is a student organization that seeks to raise awareness and tolerance for GLBT issues at Tennessee Wesleyan College. GLBST stands for gay, lesbian, bisexual, straight and transgender. Their mission is to fight not just homophobia, but discrimination against all members of the GLBT community and their allies, friends, and family. The Community advocates equal rights on campus. They are also involved in creating social and leadership opportunities for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and intersex individuals and their allies.

The Community is also participating in fundraising work for The Trevor Project, the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. The Trevor Project works toward a future where the possibilities, opportunities and dreams are the same for all youth, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The Community is sponsoring a bake sale November 17 and 18 in the SAC to raise money for the Trevor Project.

The Community is open to all people, not just those of the LGBTQ community. Meetings are held every Thursday evening at 6:00 in Sherman Hall room 209. If you have any questions about the Community or would like to get involved you can contact them on Facebook, or simply go to the meetings. You do not have to be a member of the LGBT community to join or help The Community. All are welcome.
