How Grooming Clubs (‘GSAs’) Infiltrate Schools Across America

How do GSA clubs (“Gay Straight Alliance” or “Genders and Sexualities Alliance”) get into thousands of schools across America, Canada, and beyond?

BLUF: Final Thoughts GSAs are not school “clubs” in any normal sense of the word. They are part of the adult LGBT movement’s obsession with recruiting children and teenagers.

The LGBT movement deceitfully describes GSAs as “social” networks that support LGBTQ students’ true “identities” and are all about “safety.” The truth is that GSAs are all about indoctrinating and pushing false identities and encouraging destructive behaviors. In many ways it’s a massive grooming operation, one which happens covertly in schools across the country. Yet it defies all common sense to promote homosexuality and transgenderism to children.

Thanks in part to these clubs, many youths have been damaged for life, especially if they were drawn into “gender” ideology and encouraged to “transition.” These “clubs” must be removed from schools. ...

secure in their true “identities.”
The clubs provide vital “social” networks that support LGBTQ students’ sense of belonging at school.
Gay and lesbian students are at higher risk of suicide and need “safe spaces” in school.
This is about fighting discrimination (“homophobia”) and protecting everyone’s rights.
GSAs create an inclusive school environment that’s good for the whole school.
The clubs are protected by the First Amendment and the federal Equal Access Act.
Opponents are simply bigots and haters.
Even though these talking points are obvious lies, they have been very effective in silencing opponents, including parents, school staff, and school board members.

Sophisticated Organizing Techniques by the Well-Funded National LGBT Groups
By the late 1990s, GLSEN moved its headquarters to New York City and had become a multimillion-dollar national LGBT powerhouse. GLSEN’s mission to spread the LGBT agenda to America’s schools has been lavishly funded by corporate America, including: Wells Fargo, KPMG, Cisco, IBM, Pepsi, Nickelodeon, Netflix, Goldman Sachs, AT&T, Citibank, Disney, TJX, JP Morgan, Barclay’s Capital, General Motors, Target, Comcast, the NBA, Coca-Cola, Pet Smart, Accenture, HP, Microsoft, Toyota, Intel, Oracle, PayPal, and Samsung.

GLSEN provides extensive resources for GSAs and their range of LGBT activities.

On the west coast, GSA Network was started by homosexual activists in San Francisco in 1998 to spread GSAs into California schools. Their funding has come from foundations and wealthy donors.

Both groups developed sophisticated methods for pushing GSAs into unsuspecting schools. Soon GSAs were virtually everywhere in the US. The GSAs get their organizing resources, training ideas, activity ideas, programs, and slick propaganda material from these major national LGBT organizations.

GSA clubs give the impression of being “organic.” But they are not “organic” by any means. The national groups’ online “organizing” materials have always been carefully designed to make it appear as if students actually initiate, organize, and run the clubs at their schools.

But our observation has been that it’s a radical staffer – teacher, guidance counselor, librarian, etc. – who decides to bring in a GSA club and works with the national groups to organize it. The staffer will use a few students as “fronts” to make it appear that it’s student-organized.

Targeting Vulnerable Students and Turning Them Into Activists
As part of the GSA club building process, vulnerable kids are targeted and recruited. It’s especially effective to focus on those who feel like they “don’t fit in,” have underlying emotional or mental health challenges, or are on the autism spectrum. (This belies the myth that children can truly or innately be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. These identities are being foisted on them.)

Besides being indoctrinated in LGBT behaviors and ideology, students are tutored in LGBT activism. Thus, it’s not just school staffers or state education departments who are now spreading and legitimizing the LGBTQ+ ideas. That is also accomplished by child activists: students influencing students through the GSAs and their sponsored events in a captive school environment.

Organizing and Funding Help by State Government Agencies
The general LGBT insurgence into government and society, especially on the state level, has not ignored GSAs. They make it as easy as possible for schools to implement GSAs and difficult to keep them out.

In 1995, the same year as Kevin Jennings’ “Winning the Culture War” speech (and just two years after his “safe schools” report to the Governor’s Commission), the Massachusetts Department of Education was up and running with its promotion of GSAs.

Several states have Department of Education policies specifically supporting GSAs and “safe school” programs in schools. Massachusetts still has its state-funded “Commission on LGBTQ Youth” which promotes radicalism in schools around the state, and its legislature continues to fund LGBT “youth” programs.

The Oregon Department of Education has even expanded the radical acronym to include “two spirit” (2s), intersex (I), and “asexual” (A), and + (“plus” – for perversions yet to be named).

In addition – and maybe even more pernicious are the school-affiliated groups that “grease the way” for GSAs to get in: State school board associations feed LGBT talking points to school boards when the subject of GSAs comes up. Teachers’ unions push teachers to promote GSAs. And guidance counselor associations encourage school counselors to endorse and initiate LGBT activities in their schools.
