Gay Straight Alliance For Safe Schools (GSAFE).
Gay-straight allianc (GSAs) are herald for their role providg safe spac and social outlets for queer stunts public schools the Uned Stat. Yet, for the past 20 years, many high schools across 27 stat have created and tablished Gay-Straight Allianc (GSAs) whose primary missns are “to empower youth activists to fight homophobia and transphobia schools” (GSA Network, 2010). Sce GSAs reprent one of the only attempts to addrs homophobia public schools, they provi the only micro-level mol that might be ed to rm future policy.
Viewg Homosexualy through a Heteronormative Lens. For a simple example, one need only look to the popular media, where a very specific stereotype of the “gay man” (Csian, tall, slenr, well-ted) and “lbian woman” (generally, a antly femist woman) are reified and perpetuated. For example, Queer as Folk, a seri that ran on the premium HBO work om 2000 to 2005, was largely unsuccsful bee s characters were unabashedly accurate portrayals of different personali wh queer society (specifilly, wh the homosexual male subculture).

Acrdg to the Gay-Straight Alliance Network (2010), the stunt groups are. The stunts seek terventn at a higher level and often mand that admistrators draft “nondiscrimatn and anti-harassment polici and anti-homophobia iativ” (54).
(2009) expla that most ristance to the tablishment of gay-straight allianc stems om parents, muny lears, and teachers, not om stunts themselv.
Therefore, is plsible that gay-straight allianc may allow stunts to build a solid group inty (Erikson 1963) and an affirmg sense of self (Newman and Newman 2009). The number of state-regnized gay-straight allianc is on the rise (GSA Network 2010), but so too are suicis among the very group that the anizatns purport to aid (LGBTQ Natn 2010).
