A Welcoming Environment
The official 海角论坛 LGBTQIA+ resource space, this welcoming spot for students — regardless of sex or gender and expression — to reflect or relax is affectionately referred to as our LGBTQIA+ living room. Here you can discover literature and resources about and by the 海角论坛 LGBTQIA+ student community.
As part of our Summer 2024 work, we are excited to unveil the brand-new space Rainbow Lounge in Fall 2024!
We ask that all guests help maintain the Rainbow Lounge as a space of inclusion.

Rainbow Lounge Library
We are thrilled to offer an ever-changing and refined Rainbow Lounge Library that offers new and up-to-date resources, novels, poetry, non-fiction books, theoretical texts, historical accounts, and biographies which represent and speak to a variety of LGBTQIA identities. Most of our books are available to check out, take home with you to read, and bring back.
