Create
Gay-Straight Alliances and Register Your GSA
A Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) is a student-run club, which
provides a safe place for students to meet, support each
other, talk about issues related to sexual orientation,
and work to end homophobia. Many GSA's function as a support
group and provide safety and confidentiality to students
who are struggling with their identity as gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender, or questioning. Some
GSA's work on educating themselves and the broader school
community about sexual orientation and gender identity issues. |
