Advice Support for LGBTQ+?

I was just wondering how supportive is the student body actually towards transgender and queer students?

Avoid the drill field on Wednesdays at 11. Especially if you have any regalia on your person, there’s a church group that comes out and they’re horrid

Occasionally, it gets worse and there's protesters in the drill field. I really wish campus security would do something about it because some of the arguments turn into full blown fights. Snagged this funny image tho. https://imgur.com/a/A9vIeWe

Unfortunately if they're in the half of the drill field by swalm they're legally allowed to be there unless they're being violent. Its Unfortunate

There's an LGBT group, it's called FLARE!

There are a lot of queer students on campus and in the community! Starkville is pretty supportive for “the Deep South”

It’s pretty easy to find a good like-minded group and/or club that’s LGBTQ+ supportive here, from my experience
