When Borin Chep started at the University of Nebraska at Omaha three years ago, he didn’t feel safe coming out to his classmates.
But this month, he spoke at a ceremony for graduating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students. Several administrators and faculty members were in the audience to show support.
Chep has helped campaign for gender-inclusive housing, which will be offered this fall. And a new resource center focused on LGBT and women’s issues will open in fall 2016.
A lot has changed in a few years.
