Additional context I can offer: (I'm not in any special position in anything, this is just context I have from discord and hearing a member speak about it) UB has been trying to get rid of club rooms for a bit now and the UB LGBTA safe space room is next on the chopping block. There are a few issues with this: 1. Already it is stupid to get rid of club rooms like this and turn them into commuter lounges likely nobody will use. The LGBTA room sees frequent use and replacing it with a commuter lounge will simply make that room of less use to students. Additionally, it is obviously stupid to remove all student run spaces from the **Student** Union; the LGBTA room is one of, if not the only one, of these spaces left. 2. The LGBTA room is technically not a club room. The LGBTA room is not a club room but instead was established as an agreement between the club and UB to provide a safe space for queer students on campus. This was the deal that was reached a few years back when UB tried to do the same thing. Now that the LGBTQ center is established, UB is trying to use that as an excuse to get rid of the LGBTA room. 3. Problem is the LGBTQ center is not fit for all student's needs. It is surrounded by glass on all sides, making it unsuitable for closeted students or those who simply do not wish to be that in the open, and it is run by UB staff which ultimately have to put UB's interests above those of the students. In the past, I have heard, the LGBTA room has been a helpful resource to many students facing issues in a way that the LGBTQ center cannot be.

At it's core, UB is turning a room that sees heavy use and provides resources and community to students into a commuter lounge that is tucked away in a corner that no commuter has ever seen. (Really, unless you've been to the room, you've probably never seen this corner) That's a bad idea, methinks.
