About Gay- Straight Alliances
A Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) is a school-based, student-led non-curricular club organized to end anti-gay bias and homophobia in schools and create positive change by making schools welcoming, supportive and safe places for all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. GSAs help eliminate anti-gay bias, discrimination, harassment and violence by educating school communities about homophobia and the lives of youth, and supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) students and their heterosexual allies.

Local Organizing for Local Results
Thousands of volunteers participate in our national chapter network. These chapters work with local school boards, principals, educators and school librarians to create positive change in hometown schools.

Impacting Public Policy, Shaping Public Opinion
Our public policy department works with elected officials and educational policy leaders at local, state and federal levels. The goal? Ensuring that basic protections are in place for LGBT students, teachers and families. We also bring LGBT education issues into the court of public opinion via public awareness campaigns and coalition building.

Educating the Educators
Today’s students are tomorrow’s parents, neighbors and voters. That’s why GLSEN creates ground breaking teacher training materials and inclusive curricular resources. By ensuring that today’s teachers teach the lessons of respect for all, we ensure that the next generation of Americans will live in a world without anti-gay prejudice.

Helping Students Fight for Their Rights
GLSEN’s student organizing project provides support and resources to youth in even the most isolated of places. We support students as they form and lead gay-straight alliances—helping them to change their own school environments from the inside out.
