The mission of Allies is to advance understanding of issues, concerns, and needs regarding sexual orientation among undergraduates at Boston College. Allies offers undergraduate members of the Boston College community the opportunity to consider issues concerning sexuality and sexual orientation in the context of the University's Jesuit, Catholic tradition. This tradition teaches that all human beings are created in the image and likeness of God and are thus to be valued, treated with respect, and enabled to feel welcome and appreciated at Boston College whether they are heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, or question in regard to sexual orientation. Allies recognizes that psychosexual development is a critical component of personal identity and that all persons, independent of their sexual orientation are called to integrity, generosity, and individual responsibility. The focus of Allies is education and support, not advocacy.
