The University of Utah is among the 100 best campuses in the nation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, according to "The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students."

The guide profiles 100 colleges and universities that offer resources and create a positive living and learning environment for gay students. The campuses were selected from among 680 that were nominated by gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender students, based on their views of the campuses.

Charles Milne, director of the U.'s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center, said the listing is unique because the nominations were from within the campuses' gay communities.

"It acknowledges all the work of the gay and lesbian community of the last 20 to 30 years toward creating a safe space on campus," he said.

The U. is the only Utah institution listed in the project, which was conducted for the first time this year by the Advocate, a national gay- and lesbian-issues news magazine. For more information visit: www.campuspride.net.
