I am starting a Gay Straight Alliance at my school.
Many people are against it and it is a rather controversial topic at my school.

Creating a GSA

Moving from a big city from a small, rural town was one of the most difficult changes that has occurred in my life. My previous school was much more diverse and, in general, more accepting. Still, I took the changes as they came and hoped everything would work out.

From the start, there were things being said and done at my new school that I could not tolerate. Words that should not have been allowed--words that I refuse to even repeat--were used, not only by the students, but also by the teachers. It was ridiculous and I couldn't stand it.

Project Alliance is the area's (Fulton/Montgomery Counties, New York) first group dedicated specifically or otherwise to supporting LGBTQ (Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Questioning) youth, and raising public awareness in respect to the social pressures faced by said youth.

Currently Project Alliance is communicating and working with local school districts in an attempt to form Gay Straight Alliances with in schools. GSA have a proven record of effectiveness in easing some of the pressures faced by teens who identify as being a sexual minority.
