gay club

[gay_boy94]

ok so me and my friends decided we would start a club at our school to help people with being bullied for their sexuality and to show people it's ok and to help anyone who needs to talk to someone we also want to try to get some support for gay rights I was wondering if anyone has done something like this or they have something like this at their school and how it worked out and was it successful?

Hey there. Coming from a consrvative christian school, I've never had that. As a matter of fact, I would be expelled if they knew I'm gay.

I noticed that you're from Alabama. In the south, as you probably know, gays are hated 9 times out of 10. So unless there are a lot of "out" kds at your school, I think it might just end up in the bullying of you and your friends. It's a FANTASTIC idea and other people may disagree with me on this whole thing, but I don't know that it will free anyone from anything. If you have a local community center you could try getting a club started there. It would reach out to more people that way.

Good luck!

yea the lost1 is right though

GLBTQ/GSA is the more common names you see for these groups. Im unsure if my school has one...

ya it is worse around here but there's lots of people ok with it and that will support us no matter what and like half the school has already said they'd join or support it so I think it will work good and we are connected with an organization that's helping us get started and is gonna fund us and everything and were basically expanding that organization

we came up with a name for it it's robertsdale pride: solid ground cuz well provide solid ground to everyone who feels their world is falling apart or needs help with anything

At first it sounded like a dangerous (but VERY GOOD) idea, considering you're from Alabama and whatnot. However, since you've gotten half the school on your side and support from a big organization, it seems much better and would probably stand up much more effectively against any kind of oppression. So.. I don't see why not! Your group could get really famous someday... ;)

Hmm.. I think this is called taking an initiative. I wish there were more people like you!

haha thanks that made my day better just so you know and I really do hope it works out and we get the club going and can maybe change something

Awesome idea i wish I had someone like that at school. Just be careful it doesnt get you or anyone joining the club bullied:(. Apart from that great idea

GLBT alliance groups I believe are very common in big American schools.

trust me if any of us get bullied there's tons of people who will be more than willing to take care of it our entire drumline would go crazy on them lol and we aren't really that big of a school and I haven't heard of many other schools doing it other than colleges but I dunno

I go to a large public school, and they tried starting one here- school board shut it down.

It's a great idea but you must be ready for the rude comments some ppl might say

[ccrunner]

No one has done this at my school but I think it's a great idea

At my school, we have GSA, but some parents dont want thier kids in it. But this is a residential School. So we all live together, and the majority, like 90%, are either indifferent, or support homosexuals. So its really accepting here, but parents are the difficulty...good luck i really like the idea...i hope you have fun while you are with everyone there. This can be more than just helping people through oppression, It can be to find friends....so yea...i'll stop rambling lol
