"I want to let people know there will be a safe place on campus that they can go to, that they are experiencing the same problems, and we can come together and help each other," sophomore Amaya Taína said with regard to the transgender community at PSU.

Taína, a Student Senator for the Associated Students of Portland State University, is soon to become the official representative for gay, lesbian, bi, transgender and queer  students, and she hopes to begin an on-campus transgender student group.
