LGBTQ Services

SFSU fosters community and belonging for all, offering a wide range of services and support to ensure LGBTQ students feel welcomed, valued and empowered on campus.

Located in one of the world’s most popular LGBTQ cities, San Francisco State University is a key part of the community through student services, student-run organizations, ground-breaking research, activism and more. 

Throughout our campus, you’ll find a supportive community of peers and mentors shaped by SFSU’s rich and diverse history of LGBTQ people, politics and programs. Students can also connect with LGBTQ-focused support services, health and wellness resources, student organizations, educational programs and offices dedicated to equity, inclusion and advocacy.

What Our Alumni Say

San Francisco State had resources that were quite unusual and made it inviting for somebody like me. Today queer studies or gender studies are a given on campuses. But that wasn’t always the case, and SF State was a pioneer.
