Mentor program helps gay students come out

[kweerwolf]

Students who are questioning their sexuality are not alone -- there are mentors lined up to help them.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Center program -- which has recently been gaining in popularity -- pairs students who are questioning their sexuality with older gay students who can provide them with answers or support.

There have been 50 pairs this year, up from close to 40 last year, LGBT Center Associate Director Erin Cross said.

The program "now has such a solid reputation, and people are taking advantage of it on a more regular basis," Cross said.
