Buff Allies is a group of staff, faculty and students who are committed to creating a safe campus for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA) members of the WT community. Allies will have a Buff Allies or Buff Allies Safe Zone sticker on their offices to designate areas of support in which students can feel safe asking questions, seeking resources or just hanging out.
Buff Allies welcome those who have questions or need resources but don’t know who or how to ask. Friends, family, and potential allies are invited to seek out a Buff Ally for a safe place to ask questions or seek resources.
Buff Allies is a grassroots effort with support of the WT administration. Together with Spectrum, the gay-straight alliance student group, we are committed to creating a discrimination-free campus for all, including our LGBTQIA friends and family.
If you are interested in becoming a Buff Ally and/or becoming Safe Zone trained, you can contact the Buff Allies Leadership team at buffallies@wtamu.edu.
