Welcome to Highline College’s LGBTQIA+ Website

As identified in its diversity policy, Highline College “actively promotes and supports a learning environment which ensures social justice, mutual respect, understanding, civility, and non-violence.”

The diversity statement specifically identifies gender and sexual orientation as recognized, protected, & valued identities on campus. As an extension of this, campus leadership continues to commit to initiatives that maintain an environment conducive to representing and serving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Ally and unlabeled (LGBPTQIA+) students, staff and faculty.
