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."
GSA Network GSA Network is a next-generation LGBTQ racial and gender justice organization that empowers and trains queer, trans and allied youth leaders to advocate, organize, and mobilize an intersectional movement for safer schools and healthier communities. |
