I was just going over things the GSA at my school might be doing this year, and thought I'd ask on here for some suggestions. Do you have a GSA at your school, and if so, what kind of pro-lgbtq rights activities do you do? If you don't, do you have any ideas or suggestions?
GSA at my school

This school doesn't. The last school I went to did, and the few pro-LGBT things I remember us doing were a candlelight vigil and ally week. A lot of the times, we had discussions (how did you find out about yourself, what are the slurs and which ones do you dislike the most, how comfortable are you with blah blah blah, you get the point). The GSA was a great way for people to break out of their shells and speak about subject matter that some people cringe at.[CENTER]i found jesus

Thanks. Yeah, we have discussions pretty frequently. We even have a discussion hat/box, where we write down a discussion topic and throw it in the box, and then pick one at random to discuss with the group each meeting. We tried doing something for Ally Week, but it snuck up way too fast for us. Day of Silence is the big one we go for.

Ya at my high school they did the day of silence and that was the big one. This year they're doing the "It's okay to be..." where you write it on your arm and then follow it with whatever you want. It doesn't necessarily have to be LGBT stuff. Kinda like the write love on your arm thing. They also did movie nights every couple of weeks. Oh and I think there might of been a pink day where everyone would wear pink.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

My school has GSA. I have never gone to a meeting, but my friend has. She said that they mostly had like parties and watched movies. Oh and had discussions and what not. I totally support the idea and I think that it is the best idea for a club ever. If only everyone agreed.... (some stupid jerks at my school were ripping down the posters and stuff. i was so pissed when i found out)
But anyway... My school also does the day of silence. I do it every year :D -
I wish I had a GSA at my school.
Every time the topic of homosexuality comes up in the classroom, everyone is like:
"EWW! GAY FAGZ"
"Dis fokken messed up, bra!"
"That's sick."
Sigh, I give up with humanity.
But back on topic. I think discussions, socials, watching films, discussions on gay-themed books, etc. are good things to do at a GSA. -
