What is a GSA?
A GSA is a student-run club for members of the LGBTQ community and their allies, typically in high schools. It exists to provide a safe, supportive environment for members to meet, support each other, discuss LGBTQ-related topics, and advocate for the community. GSA is an acronym commonly used for "Gay-Straight Alliance", though it can also be used for "Genders and Sexualities Alliance". Some schools also call their clubs "Pride Club" or "Pride Alliance."
