That’s awesome!

Did you know our Research Department found that Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) have tangible benefits for LGBT students in school? Specifically:

• The presence of GSAs may help to make schools safer for LGBT students by sending a message that biased language and harassment will not be tolerated.
• Having a GSA may also make schools more accessible to LGBT students by contributing to a more positive school environment.
• GSAs may help LGBT students to identify supportive school staff, which has been shown to have a positive impact on their academic achievements and experiences in school.

So a big KUDOS to making your school safer, one GSA meeting at a time!
