Our small groups are social groups geared towards members of the LGBT community that focus on different branches of the student body. All groups are open to all University of Maryland students, staff, and faculty; however each small group is a safe-speech-mutual-respect environment.
If you are attending a Pride Alliance Small Group because of a class assignment, please attend the QSA meeting. The QSA
meeting is a general body meeting for the Pride Alliance and would be a good
place for observation assignments. Have questions? E-mail our Director of Small Groups, Tania, for more info!
QSA (Queer-Straight Alliance): QSA is for all members of Pride Alliance and serves as our general body meetings. The purpose of QSA meetings is to bring together all of Pride Alliance for planning, activism, socialising, and discussion for members of the LGBT community as a whole. Voice your opinion, get involved, and meet new people! Contact smallgroups.pride [at] umd.edu for more information.

SafeSpace: SafeSpace provides a confidential forum for newly out and questioning members of the LGBT community to meet others who may be, or may have experienced similar issues in coming out to themselves, their families, or their friends. Discussion topics can range from political to personal. Is there a topic you want to talk about? Contact safespace.pride [at] umd.edu for more information.
Bisexuals at Maryland: Bisexuals at Maryland is a social and discussion group for all those 1 through 5 on the Kinsey scale! If you identify as bisexual, or if you feel that none of the standard 'LGB' orientations quite suit you, or if you just want to show your support. Contact smallgroups.pride [at] umd.edu for more information.
W2W (Women2Women): Women2Women is a group that serves as a space for queer-identified women at UM. Come discuss issues and socialize with your girls! Contact w2w.pride [at] umd.edu for more information.
Trans U: Trans U is a discussion and support group for those who identify as transgender, gender queer, or otherwise feel restricted by conventional definitions of "man" and "woman". Join us to meet new people and discuss trans-relevant issues. Contact trans_u.pride [at] umd.edu for more information.
TCOM (True Colors of Maryland): True Colors of Maryland is a group dedicated to addressing the social and political issues that face LGBT people of color. Contact tcom.pride [at] umd.edu for more information.
Executive Board Meetings: If you'd like to find out more about the Pride Alliance, would like to help out, or have any questions, concerns, or simply would wish to contact us, please do, we'd love to hear from you! Please keep in mind, however, that this is not a social group - we usually have a full agenda, but we will certainly address any business you'd like to bring.
