Homophobia and Gender Bias

Harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity is fueled by homophobia and transphobia. You do not deserve to be harassed and you do not have to handle it alone. The University is committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment for all students, staff, and faculty, and the GSRC and its partners can help you navigate any gender- or sexuality-related bias you may have experienced. Please note, at Princeton University gender identity or expression, sex, affectional or sexual orientation, and marital or domestic partnership status are considered protected characteristics. Per university policy, protected characteristics are those personal traits, characteristics and/or beliefs that are defined by applicable law as protected from discrimination and/or harassment

Confidential counselors (e.g., SHARE, the University Health Services Counseling Center, the Ombuds Office, Carebridge, or chaplains in the Office of Religious Life) are available to listen and provide support, and do not conduct investigations, so many students seek out these confidential resources first to learn their options before making a decision about whether to move forward with a formal complaint. 

If after speaking with a confidential counselor you wish to lodge a complaint, the confidential counselor will put you in touch with an appropriate University administrator. If you would like to discuss what confidential resources exist for you, please contact the GSRC directly.
