Change.org - Gay-Straight Alliance

Noa and their friends wanted to start a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at their school — a place to come together and find support. But the head of the school won’t allow a GSA in the school “because he doesn’t want controversy.” Noa knows that a club for LGBTQ+ students and allies isn’t controversial. Instead, it can provide a safe space for many. Add your name now to help Noa fight homophobia and get a GSA at their school. Help me prove a GSA is beneficial for LGBTQ+ youth and Allies in schools 1,146 have signed Noa Pergament’s petition. Let’s get to 1,500!

The head of my school is refusing to let my friends and I put together a GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) club because he doesn’t wanna make “controversy” or a “blunt message.” That is coming across as homophobic and disrespectful to the LGBTQ+ students and allies in the school that would enjoy and benefit from a GSA club and an experience that it has to offer. “I spoke with a couple of other educators in other schools and they immediately knew what a GSA was and shared their common assumptions about what it meant for it to be in the school... exactly the kind of blunt message and misinterpretation that I would like to avoid.” -The Head of my School
