Supporters say the stickers send a message that the students can find an understanding listener.
I'm not going to put a sticker up for that reason. Other professors worry that the stickers will cast them in a counseling role they're not trained for. Still others wonder if people will assume they don't accept homosexuals if they decide not to display the stickers. The stickers first were available four years ago and are being reintroduced by the campus Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Concerns Committee. The first round of distribution didn't reach everyone, and some students still find the campus hostile, said Matt Pearcey, a WWU graduate student who co-chairs the committee and led efforts to get the stickers.
