The LGBT Campus Center is launching Stop the Silence: LGBTQ Anti-Bullying Campaign to address ongoing incidents in both UW-Madison and broader communities. Bullying toward students identified as LGBT, or those perceived to be, is a long standing issue for students. While a number of LGBT students have committed suicide in the last few weeks, this is by no means a recent phenomenon, nor does it truly reflect the pervasiveness of bullying that students face on a regular basis.
