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!

Sultana High School is censoring and discriminating against its Gay-Straight Alliance. The Hesperia, CA school is limiting the GSA from using LGBT-inclusive language and participating in activities like GLSEN’s Day of Silence and Ally Week.

Today is the first school day since news broke last week during Spring Break that the ACLU of Southern California sent a letter demanding the school district stop discriminating against the school’s GSA.

Tell them that they are not alone

As they return to school today, the GSA members could face retaliation for their decision to stand up to their school district.

Along with our partners at the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, It Gets Project, and the California-based GSA Network, we want to send a clear message to Sultana High GSA members as they head back to school:

We are proud of you and we’ve got your back.

Will you join us? Click here to send your own message to the brave LGBT students and allies.

They believe that every student deserves to be safe and treated with respect, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Help us show them that people all across the country stand with them against discrimination.

I’m Trying to Start a GSA at my School

As this is my last year here, I want to try and make it a different place for future LGBT students… I just don’t know how heavily my administrators will resist.

If there’s anything we can do, let us know! If your administration responds well to facts, our research department has lots of ‘em. And we’ve got some tips for GSAs once it’s up and running over at glsen.org/gsa

I am the president of my school’s Gay-Straight alliance. For ally week, we set up a table in our cafeteria where students could sign a pledge and have their photo taken. We thought that, this being our first year doing ally week, it wouldn’t be all that successful. we were wrong. In just four day, 123 people participated. This is a collage of those photographed.

We know that when communities act, LGBT students do better. And with this money, we can reach even more communities and impact that many more students.

Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ Resources

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!
