HOW TO START A GAY-STRAIGHT ALLIANCE (GSA)

The rearch and data ced above show that GSAs are a cril ponent to creatg a safe and clive environment for gay and transgenr youth. GSAs rce levels of harassment and thereby help gay and transgenr youth foc on their amics and reach their full potential. They also create clive environments where gay and transgenr youth are able to simply be te to themselv.

Gay and transgenr youth should not have to look forward to the summer bee provis a few months ee om bullyg and harassment. A GSA will not pletely elimate bullyg and harassment, but the groups do help create a climate where gay and transgenr youth n thrive, learn, and grow.
