GSA Clubs in school

[bubble21]

Ok so im Bi and absolutely no one knows(except for whose reading this), and there is a GSA club at my school that only girls go to(its not just for girls, but the girls are the only ones in the club). I want to join but that would be just awkward since id be the only guy, and people would know that im bi. And its not like i don't want people to know im bi(of course i do), but i don't want certain people knowing(da bullies). Anyway I need help with what i should do, either join and take the chance of being called faggot for the rest of my school career or not join and stay to myself forever. Ive only had a girlfriend but I really want a boyfriend :D. Any and all advice is helpful.

I want people to know about me too (including my crush :P) but im scared of judgement. Wish I could trust people, but I cant.

I joined mine, it's pretty nice.

I joined mine too. The only thing is... nobody knows I'm bi. And now I want to tell this one girl...sigh. Oh well. My closet is closing in...

Go join it. Take a friend with you so you're not alone. Also in most GSA's you don't have to disclose your sexuality. You can leave it hanging in the open until and if you're ready. Also remember they're called Gay-STRAIGHT-Alliances, you don't have to be gay to join. There's no pressure to tell everyone you're bi, it's just a place to chill out and be yourself. Once a little more comfortable, you can decide to tell them later. :)

GSA clubs are usually my saving light at schools. Even if a school is really shitty, generally the GSA club is more or less genuine with decent people.
I say go for it.

While I don't think they are common in the UK. I assume going to them would be quite a life saving/changing thing.

I think you find that if you went to it everyone would find out eventually but I think being apart of that club would give you support and it would be support and chances are bullies wouldn't bother you and if you did get any hassle from the bullies then you'd have that club to support you.

I'm always a little wary of joining groups like this. For some reason, it feel to me like they kind of press the issue. I guess I kind of sound really contradictory, because I'm all for support, but forming an official club seems like setting yourself aside in some way. I suppose for me I see sexuality as something which should not be a big deal - no one should be seen as right, wrong, or otherwise, so no one should have any need for special clubs.

My school never had one. :(

I'd say join it. People don't have to know that you're bisexual if you're not comfortable telling them. If anyone asks you about it or tries to press the issue, just tell them that you don't need to be gay or bi to support what's right. It is an alliance of gays AND straights, after all.

we don't have this at our school . now if we did and I wish we did I would join to .i no you really want to so do it. (GSA) you can be the s . lot of girls to meet there to .no one needs to no your bi unless you tell them . if they say something tell them they join to an support the st8 people .

I know this is probably old news now, but I found an article in an Australian magazine about the situation with this kind of club here that I thought was interesting to me and might be useful to people here:

i wish my school had one but back to you i would join it makes for some good moral support. it helps you gain confidence in yourself

doesn't the S stand for straight? as in Gay Straight Alliance? find some straight guy friends to join too. people that everyone knows are straight. then when you all join at the same time people will think you are just one of the other straight guys who are straight allies except for the people you tell different.

Ok nvm, my school dropped the club since there weren't as many people as required in the club so. :|

I wish my school had that... But at my school, there are only maybe 10 or possibly 15 LGBTs. That saddens me, for several reasons. 1. I still have to find the boy of my dreams online. 2. Nobody knows what life's like for me. I almost committed suicide, but I happened upon the game that would save my life. 3. They have no clue that in not interested in them just because Im bisexual, in other words guys and girls think i like them just because I'm bi

I say join because stick and stones may break your bone but names will never hurt me just remember that :) you should be proud of who you are! :)
