After watching an Upworthy video the other day, it occurred to me that one of the ways I might be able to help my students become activists is by sponsoring a Gay-Straight Alliance club. I checked out this site and found a number of resources, and I talked with a couple of teachers who told me that our school has had a GSA in the past, so I plan to speak to my administration about it this week.
I actually don't know anything about sponsoring a club, and I'm not as educated about gay issues as I probably should be, but I do believe in equal rights for ALL, so I am hoping that my good intentions and ability to locate resources will be enough to get started. My objective is to provide a place to have conversations, and to assist interested students as needed.
Any suggestions are welcome!
