GHS GSA

Got ACCEPTANCE?

About Me


GHS GSA's Mission Statement/Purpose:
A safe place for students to meet, support each other, talk about issues related to sexual orientation and race, and work to end homophobia, transphobia, and racism.
Our Moto: Got tolerance ACCEPTANCE?

GSAs draw on the courage of LGBT youth and the commitment of straight allies working in partnership to build bridges, change school climates, and reform school policies. Strong, well-supported GSAs can have a major impact on the education environment and possess the power to transform individuals, school cultures, and educational institutions. All of our work with students focuses on leadership development and activism that prioritizes building alliances not only across sexual orientation and gender identity lines, but also across race, ethnicity, and class lines, and our resources and trainings are designed to facilitate alliance-building.

- Working with other on-campus clubs to get presence known and to have coalitions for tolerance and acceptance for LGBTQ issues as well as racial issues

- Holding monthly events that are inclusive of both LGBTQ and racial issues in order to uphold our mission of fighting both homophobia and transphobia as well as racism on campus and within the community.
