Gender and Sexuality Alliance Rochester (GSAR)
Gender and Sexuality Alliance Rochester was established to open a dialogue for LGBTQ+ people at UMR, create and foster a community for queer folk, and spread awareness about LGBTQ+ issues at UMR and in the broader Rochester community. Our organization has been designed to be more than just an advocacy group, it has given many of us a family away from home and acted as a support system for those struggling with either the sexual orientation or gender identity. Nevertheless, we are welcome to all who not only wish to learn more about our community but to become part of it.
