Feelings on LGBT Safe Spaces

I will be attending college here soon. The university I have chosen has a LGBT safe space. I've been in the military for the better part of a decade now and I was looking for how others who have been to places like this to hear their opinions and experiences on safe spaces. I have a no real preconceived notions on them as of right now. I'm note looking to support or bash such places I just want to know how the people of /r/Gay feel about safe spaces.
