Gay-Straight Alliance
Advisor: Ms. Chaney-Aiello - C11
Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) strives to provide a safe, supportive environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning (LGBTQ) and straight ally youth at MSJ where they can meet and discuss sexual orientation and gender identity issues. We also work to create a school environment free of discrimination, harassment, and intolerance. Whether you’re looking for a group of accepting and understanding people to become friends with or you’re interested in getting involved to help the LGBTQ community, GSA meetings are the place to be! Check us out in room C11 every other Tuesday!

National Day of Silence - April 19, 2013
Hundreds of thousands of students at thousands of middle schools, high schools and colleges will take some form of a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. What will you do to end the silence?
