Both The Wall Street Journal and CBS Radio summed up the night’s theme with one word: triumph.
Every year, we’re blown away by our partners, participants, and supporters who are working with us to make schools safer for all students regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
If you couldn’t join us in NYC for the Respect Awards, here’s a glimpse of the night.
Linda Harvey, an anti-LGBT extremist, said some ridiculous things about Day of Silence and LGBT people. So, naturally we had to fact-check her.
And show off just a small fraction of the powerful, courageous, and world-changing people who are using Day of Silence to take a stand and make a difference.
Whose side are you on?
Last night we took DC by storm to tour the monuments. And the park ranger at the Jefferson Memorial told us that he has a gay son who started a GSA at his high school!
Yea, that happened.
aradovahkiin-deactivated2013061 asked:
I wish my school had a GSA. How do you think I should suggest the idea of it to the principal? I go to a public school in central Texas, and I am in seventh grade. Our school is only from 6-8, so I'll be out of this place in only a bit more than a year. But I want future students, as well as the kids now, to have a place and an organisation in which they can feel safe and loved. Should I gather a group of some of my LGBTQ/LGBTQ-supportive friends/teachers to ask?
That’s a great idea! Talking to your administration will be much easier with supportive friends and teachers by your side. Chat with your peers about why you think having a GSA will be helpful in your school, and then get a faculty member to agree to be a sponsor. After, ask your new sponsor to help set up a meeting with the administration to discuss starting a GSA! Hopefully, things will go over smoothly and you can start making changes at your school!

This is what Washington-Lee High School’s GSA is doing to prepare for the Day of Silence.
