GLSEN Receives Inspiring Praise

We noticed a very kind blog post from a former GSA sponsor giving praise to our efforts here at GLSEN, so we wanted to use this opportunity to send our thanks to the unceasing support from educators, students, mothers, fathers and the countless other GLSEN allies.

In the blog, the author cites the recent Georgetown University hate crimes and is reminded that her son's "future safety in school might depend on what action people are taking today."

The prevalence of anti-LGBT bullying in K-12 schools is one of the big reasons why GLSEN and the National Safe Schools Partnership support the Safe Schools Improvement Act, introduced in Congress earlier this year by Calif. Rep. Linda Sanchez. The bill would require schools to implement comprehensive anti-bullying policies and report occurrences of bullying and harassment, including on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, to the Department of Education.

It's the tireless efforts of concerned citizens that put change into motion, and it is your unwavering support that makes what we do possible.
