Speaking Out: Inspiring Stories of Columbia LGBTQ+ Students about Pride and Love

Columbia Global Centers | Beijing is proud to celebrate Pride Month this June to acknowledge and voice the importance of inclusion of LGBTQ+ community as part of our ongoing efforts to create a supportive environment for all Columbia members.

The Center has launched a social campaign "Embrace Diversity and Be Proud of Who You Are" to invite Columbia's Chinese students to share their coming out stories or other experiences as LGBTQ+ individuals.

We’re committed to using our reach and influence to increase the visibility and recognition of our LGBTQ+ students by providing a platform to amplify their less-heard voices.

Below is the collection of stories from our students who are willing to share their personal journeys about love, acceptance, and pride.

We want to hear from you! Share your LGBTQ+ experiences by filling out our anonymous online form Here.
