Basic facts

STUD was established in 1996 as an independent non-government, and non-profit organisation (civic association), the mission of which is to benefit the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender minority, and to aim for its full legal and factual emancipation with other members of the society. The name of the organization is abbreviated from "students". The full name was originally STUD-lgb and it meant "lesbian, gay & bi students".[1]

STUD gathers people of homosexual and bisexual orientation, and heterosexual favourers. STUD counted some thirty members at the beginning of 2010. STUD is an all-volunteer group, except for one paid half-time staff member.[1] It was an active member of The Association of Gay and Lesbian Citizens‘ Organizations in the Czech Republic (SOHO) until its transformation in 2000. In 2003 STUD became a constituent member of the Gay & Lesbian League (GLL).[2]
