There is a large international community in UC Davis of over 2,500 students and this resource page aims to provide information catering to people who speak different languages. The language barrier is a prevalent issue in disseminating information across demographics on campus as well as in society. Providing general LGBT resources or community access is not always as useful for LGBT international students because of the language barrier and cultural differences [1]. It is therefore important that information is accessible to people of different lingual backgrounds for education, community, and movement.
