An excerpt from "GLSEN Celebrates 2,000th Gay-Straight Alliance"
New York, NY – The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, or GLSEN, is proud to announce the 2,000th student club, often called a Gay-Straight Alliance or GSA, to register with the organization. The milestone came with the formation of a GSA at Detroit Central High School in Detroit, Michigan.
“It is with immense pride that GLSEN celebrates 2,000 GSAs,” said GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings. “The young people involved in these student clubs are providing an invaluable service and support system for their peers while changing the climate of their schools and communities from one where discrimination and harassment are the rule to environments where everyone learns to respect and accept all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity / expression.”
Note - GSA's are NOT simply student "clubs" and GLSEN knows it. It's the adults in homosexual organizations such as GLSEN and PFLAG that provide the encouragement, direction, and resources for the formation of GSA's. Some GSA's are taxpayer funded, as documented here and here.
