Support Equality: Become an Ally!

Have you ever wondered how you can help promote equality in your school? Have you always had the ambition but never the opportunity to speak out for LGBT rights? Now’s your chance! Next month will be GLSEN’s annual Ally Week (October 15-19, 2012)! Registering is simple as taking the ally pledge! That means you are pledging to:

    •    Not use anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) language or slurs.
    •    Intervene, if I safely can, in situations where students are being harassed or tell an adult.
    •    Support efforts to end bullying and harassment.
    •    Encourage others to be Allies.

Have a great Ally Week everyone!

Ally Week is about identifying and supporting allies to LGBT youth. Why? Because our research shows that when LGBTQ students can identify supportive educators and peers, their school experience is better.

This year, we want to make sure it’s absolutely clear: Ally Week is about learning to be better allies and recruiting more folks to step up to the plate.  Whether you’re a lesbian adult working to make schools safer for today’s youth, or a gay student organizing to create safe spaces for your trans* friends, everyone has an opportunity this week to recognize their allyship and take action to become better at it.

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.

The Gay-Straight Alliance at my school is preparing for GLSEN’s Ally Week, which starts on Monday. We made a video to introduce the week to the rest of the school. I’m quite proud of it, so I thought I’d share it - also features an appearance by yours truly, so enjoy and spread it around!

Happy second day of Ally Week everyone! I hope it’s going well for all those participating. Personally, since my GSA is just getting together right now, I will probably end up celebrating Ally Week with them a little late. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t have some Ally Week blogging fun! So I’ll be posting some little facts and tidbits about allies all this week!

Fun Fact #1: Did you know that the first GSA was the idea of an ally? In 1998, a student of Kevin Jennings (the founder of GLSEN) proposed creating a club to promote LGBT inclusiveness to Mr. Jennings, and suggested it be called a Gay-Straight Alliance because she was straight and he was gay. Now, there are over 4,000 GSAs registered in the country!

Stay tuned for more Ally Fun Facts!

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)!

Some LGBTQ+ Asian/Pacific Islander Creators:

  • Jean Melesaine (queer, Sāmoan, artist, documentary photographer, and one of the founding members of One Love Oceania)
