GLSEN, the national nonprofit dedicated to fostering safe and inclusive schools for LGBTQ+ students, has laid off 60 percent of its workforce. The organization’s leader says that the business decision was painful and necessary in response to mounting financial pressures and coordinated right-wing attacks.

Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, GLSEN’s executive director, confirmed to The Advocate that 18 employees—more than half of the organization’s staff—were let go on Monday as part of a restructuring effort the organization says is aimed at ensuring the group’s survival and long-term impact. The decision, Willingham-Jaggers noted, was driven by a steep decline in revenue and a broader effort to “right-size” the organization for the challenges ahead.

Wonderful news. GLSEN is the premier grooming organization which has sought to infiltrate schools with their poisonous propaganda in every corner of the nation. That the org is contracting this much is a wonderful sign that the devil's legions are in at least temporary retreat.

There should be a score board of USAID funded groups that have to shut down.

The USAID shutoff probably cut off their money flow.

mounting financial pressures

They seem to be leaking tranny fluid.

We are learning where all of our tax payer dollars have been going - but aren’t anymore.

I think we’ll be shocked at how many leftist organization will be shuttered or contract significantly since USAID was shut down.

Trump and Musk sure knew what they were doing.

[cgbg]

Yup—there are also other less publicized grants to leftist NGOs that are now gone.

The “activist” NGOs are going to be toppling like dominoes.

When Power-full cash flows dry up.... USAID is one of many corruptions whose apple-cart has been well and truly tipped over. More news to come....

Remember that "fundamental change" Obama-Biden worked so hard to accomplish? TRANS-forming, and in a rather queer way.....

Why lay anyone off? If they keep paying everyone, they can non-profit even more!

LGBTQ+ is not quite as trendy as it was a month ago.
What could have happened?

A little boy had the innocent audacity to point out that the Emperor was wearing no clothes.

“Melanie Willingham-Jaggers”

There’s a name that inspires confidence.

Absolutely.

It's why they're in such a murderous rage over this brilliant move by Trump.

GREAT! Thanks for posting.

I’m never inspired by hyphenated names.

GLSEN has been active for a long time, trying to push the gay agenda in schools. At least since the mid 1990s.
I would have presumed they declared Mission Accomplished over 10 years ago. It is good to hear about their shops now being shuttered.

[albie]

If they’re “non profit” it shouldn’t be so bad huh?

The Graft $$$ ran out.

Just imagine what it would be like to show up to work with these bozo’s every day.
