I also arranged for a speaker from a youth program who discussed current laws facing all educators in my state, as well as the academic ramifications from them. Following the training, two LGBT students completed a gender support plan developed with the school counselor and the parents of one. This included a simple form for teachers to use so they know what pronoun the student prefers, which gender they identify with, and what options the student has when using the restroom. The students were provided with access to the staff bathrooms in the student services office, as well as a place to change for physical education and theater when needed. Another form of evidence was through providing teacher support and resources regarding the legal rights of transgender students in Show Choir to wear the performance attire that matches the gender they identify with. Through discussions with the performing arts teachers, they were able to prevent negative comments when two transgender students wore the attire that matched their sexual

One event in particular, however, sparked awareness and a call to action that previously could never have been conceptualized in the United States. This unforgettable incident, the Stonewall riots of 1969, altered the public’s view of the gay community and arguably jumpstarted the next revolution in an entirely new civil rights movement.

The LGBT community has always been a topic that many do not recognize go through serious issues such as suicide. Being a middle schooler or high schooler can be very stressful especially when you feel you’re an outcast because of your sexual orientation. That is why implementing programs or even activities can provide individuals with the information they need to be more aware of what type of people are around them. This could also help LGBT students feel more comfortable interacting.

In the last week of April, the GSA, in cooperation with the GPACS Health Committee, organized the first annual LGBTQ+ Week. Despite being a shortened week, the four days showcased many different aspects of self-wellness. Tuesday presented a session of Mindfulness Yoga in the Lower Great Hall, led by Ms. Gin, while Wednesday featured a GSA Open House with numerous group activities and a candy buffet at lunch.

October is LGBTQ History Month which is a month-long annual observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements.

During these two I got to learn more about the LGBTQ history and also how to better understand LGBTQ people and how to treat them.

When I think of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) group, I cannot really relate to them at all because I am a straight female. I also have different beliefs about the group. I do not choose to ridicule anyone just because they are different but I do stay true to what I believe in. Despite my beliefs, I was very open to their discussion and tried to relate and understand where they were coming from. During the session, I realized that many people in the LGBTQ community suffer ridicule every day, want to change how the LGBTQ community is looked upon, and struggle with identity.
