Officially founded in 2009, CUAllies is the preeminent on-campus advocate for equal representation and treatment of LGBTQIA+ students at The Catholic University of America. We seek to aid in the creation of a respectful, compassionate, and understanding community at CUA by providing resources, a safe environment, and a voice for LGBTQIA+ students on campus. We want to facilitate progress at CUA am
ong LGBTQIA+ persons and people of faith by engaging in respectful dialogue to achieve equal dignity and treatment of all students, facility, and staff. CUA’s location in our nation’s capital offers us a unique opportunity to be in tune with current issues and be open to progress. It presents us with the ability to set an example for the rest of the world. CUAllies wants recognition as a legitimate group at the Catholic University of America so that all students, regardless of their sexuality or gender identity, will be accepted and treated with respect. Just as Pope Francis confidently said, “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?”
