Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

This is why we do the work. Everyone at GLSEN, every teacher, and student, and volunteer, and every “Follower” on Tumblr. Each one of you. We do this work to make schools safer for LGBT students, we know it’s working, and with this award from Chase, we could do even more.

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.

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.

11 Ways to Prepare for GLSEN’s Day of Silence

Each year, thousands of students across the country participate in GLSEN’s Day of Silence, a daylong vow of silence symbolizing the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment. This year’s Day of Silence takes place next Friday, April 15, and students from all 50 states and many different countries will participate.

Planning a Day of Silence event at your school or in your community may seem daunting, but GLSEN’s Day of Silence team is here to help. Here are 11 things you can do to prepare.

1. Register your participation. Visit dayofsilence.org/register to let GLSEN know that you’ll be participating in the Day of Silence. Your registration helps us to stay in touch with you and allows us to know just how many people are committed to GLSEN’s Day of Silence each year.

2. Inform your school’s administration of your plan to participate. It’s a courtesy to let your school know that students will be observing GLSEN’s Day of Silence. Request a meeting with your principal, student affairs official, or other administrator to tell them about your plans. Be prepared to share approximately how many students will be participating, and answer any questions respectfully. Check out this letter to schools from the ACLU for help with discussing GLSEN’s Day of Silence with school officials.

3. Hold a Day of Silence meeting. Whether you hold an open GSA meeting or a meeting specifically dedicated to GLSEN’s Day of Silence, choose a time and place where students can gather to discuss the Day of Silence and pledge to participate.

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)!
