Across the country, adult LGBT groups collaborate with school GSA clubs to lure students to their unsupervised events, with activist adults. Note the "youth" age range on the poster: 13-24.
his MassResistance mother from Cape Cod testified in 2016 before the Massachusetts Legislature, detailing how her son’s high school steered him to an outside LGBT group without her knowledge. Homosexual adults there persuaded him that he was really “gay.” He continues to lead a homosexual lifestyle. She will be telling her full story in our next MassResistance article.
As we’ve outlined earlier, school GSA clubs recruit and attract students who are confused, “questioning,” have underlying emotional or mental health challenges, are on the autism spectrum, or otherwise “don’t fit in.” These vulnerable students are then encouraged to join the LGBT “community.”
School GSA clubs (“Gay Straight Alliance” or “Genders and Sexualities Alliance”) are a prime way that students are led to outside LGBT individuals and groups. GSA clubs are strategically organized to connect with adult LGBT activists and resources.
Here are five categories of LGBT groups and individuals that GSA clubs connect students to:
Across the country are hundreds of local adult-run “LGBTQ support groups” that work to attract children in the community – largely from the GSA clubs in the local public schools. Some of these groups primarily focus on “youth.” Other groups are ostensibly for adults but have well-organized programs to bring in children. These groups advertise their services as free and “confidential” (i.e., without parents’ knowledge) where the kids can “be who they really are.” They include kids as young as 12.
This is what we're seeing across the country: An adult-led LGBT "pride youth group" for kids in grades 7-12 that's "confidential" and is a "safe and welcoming space to express yourself." The results are a parent's nightmare.They are not just in big cities, but also in small towns throughout America – even in “red” states. In many locales, the school officials openly cooperate with these groups. In some places the local school system even helps fund them!
When kids get involved with these adult homosexual and transgender activists, it’s dangerous because there is no accountability. Thus, parents in several states have appealed to MassResistance for ways to get these “support group” centers closed down.
In a few states this has been going on for decades. For example, in Massachusetts BAGLY (Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth) has been active since the 1990s. It is run by a man who dresses as a woman and fully supports transgender behaviors among kids. Its meetings and events are open to “youth ages 22 and under,” and its drop-in space includes people “25 and under.” It helps high school students start GSAs and provides speakers for club or school events.
Students holding the BAGLY banner at a Youth Pride event.BAGLY is one of 15 such regional groups in Massachusetts. This 2014 MassResistance report shows how these groups were targeting children even back then!
Similarly, New Hampshire has a new statewide network working with GSAs run by adult activists.
Here are some examples of how BAGLY connects youth and dangerous adults: BAGLY has co-sponsored degenerate dance events, has heavily promoted transgenderism at their youth events, and collaborated with an organization that promote transgender prostitution.
Occasionally, the terrible stories of what happens to kids in these groups get exposed. In 2007, the Christian Civic League of Maine uncovered information (which MassResistance reported) that adults running a local LGBT “youth” group in Maine were having homosexual sex with boys as young as 14. Drugs, alcohol, and suicide threats were involved.
To make matters worse, in some states such as Massachusetts, the government itself supports the connecting of outside groups to schoolchildren. For example, BAGLY has an entrée into schools across the state as a member of the Massachusetts LGBTQ Youth Commission, which has influence in the state government. In 2024, this depraved commission called for legalizing teenage prostitution and lowering the age of sexual consent.

Originally it was named the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth." Here some of the homosexual "commissioners" applaud at a youth pride march. (The one at far right was later arrested for soliciting sex from college boys.)Hardcore LGBT activists who work in the schools often become the advisors of the GSA clubs.
Earlier in this series we described the annual GLSEN conferences (beginning in 2000 with ‘Fistgate”) and showed examples of some of their LGBT-oriented workshops.
The LGBT movement’s obsession with including schoolchildren at their adult events has lessened with public exposure by groups including MassResistance. But GSAs routinely use materials provided online by the activist organizations.
National and local LGBT groups now put on conferences, summits, and workshops tailored for schoolchildren which include a range of bizarre and depraved sexual topics. These events recruit kids through GSA clubs in schools. (Pro-LGBT teachers and adult “allies” may also be included.)....
As noted above, Kevin Jennings took his high school students from the GSA he had started at Concord Academy to the 1993 gay rights march on Washington. It was the first major national event to push “bisexuality” and “transgender rights” alongside “gay and lesbian rights.” The vulgarity was rife then as now.
...
A recent trend across the country has been for the local LGBT support groups to state “pride” events in public parks, that are designed to attract young people. Most of these are sanctioned and applauded by the local governments, though not necessarily funded by them. They are often scheduled just when school is ending, so the local GSA clubs often participate.
In recent years MassResistance activists in several states have aggressively protested – and often successfully derailed – these horrendous events.

And homosexual relations have been tragically primarily responsible for approx. 80% of new HIV cases among men and over 700,000 American deaths, though such is not even the decisive reason why homosexual relations are wrong.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
For a moment, I thought GSA was the Girl Scouts.
In Massachusetts? I’m shocked!
I am so glad this kind of thing wasn’t around when I was a teen. It’s an awkward time for nearly everyone.
“Queer history field trip” for kids. Gosh, that doesn’t sound suspect at all. Are public schools nothing more than grooming centers for pedophiles? It seems so.
Yeah, four paragraphs in they finally let us know what “GSA” is.
Its grooming straight up. A child is very susceptible to adult influence especially if they are getting love bombed. Grooming is a tactic used by every cult.
In Oregon the problem exists not only in Democrat strongholds in the Willamette Valley, but on the coast. The school library at Lincoln City proudly proclaimed “A gender affirming closet” where students would be able to choose clothes, makeup, and accessories to express themselves at school, even though parents did not support those choices.
I think the only GSA-like organizations when I was growing up were the school theater groups. :)
That’s absolutely true.
Sadly.
It’s very sad what they’re doing to our kids. Those parents did the absolute best thing they could do by moving. Next up, homeschool your kids. They are getting groomed at school in many states.
Just to clarify, GSA, stands for Gay-Straight-Alliance, not Girl Scouts of America I was assuming what that stood for.
If kids were “born that way,” groomers would not have to recruit.
We know that victims of child sexual abuse are far more likely to become abusers.
I thought the queer context of GSA was common knowledge.
The “alliance” in the name means hooking up, by the way.
It may be, but it wasn’t something I thought of. I only offered it for others who might not realize exactly what it stood for with regards to this post.
I agree with you that the clubs bring vulnerable kids in contact with adult predators.
That said, banning them is difficult, as the 1st Amendment guarantees “freedom of association”, even for kids.
I like to flip things around and think about how leftists would apply the same rule. Leftists would say a bible study or a Republican group brings kids in contact with people “spouting hate” or whatever tripe they claim.
I think a better approach (that can actually work under the Constitution) is that all groups must require written parental consent to join.
At one point he called me and begged that we meet for dinner, since we lived fairly close to each other. I made only one request, that we go to a restaurant that was neutral and just spend the evening as brothers. He agreed but he lied: the restaurant was in a gay club with males dancing with each other. I haven't met him for dinner again.
Later, he asked that all meet as brothers (there are four brothers in our family). I decide to give it a try again and got the two other brothers to agree - when he sent out an e-mail telling everyone that he had "rescued" a 15 year old who was living with him.
That was the last time any of us had contact with him.
