We don't either, yay closeminded south! =\ at my school it is horrible to even mention Prop. 8 or gay marriage, you are automatically accused of being... Not well... Of all the kids in our school, that say it is the person's life and they can live it how they want, we're too scared to even think about trying to start a GSA type thing.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

My school indeed does have a Gay-Straight Alliance club. And I'm a member. The club is small, but most of the student body knows we exist and is accepting of it, which is great. There will always be a few students who would never even acknowledge the club's existence or give an ounce of respect to the LGBT community, but overall, it's quite nice at my school.

I'm not at school/college/any form of education anymore but when I was as far as I knew there wasn't any form of group for LGBT or for anything in general. At college there is a team of people who you can talk to about things like that but no group as far as I was aware which is a shame because I believe a group would help people who are figuring themselves out and coming to terms with it.

Nothing in my secondary school or 6th form. I might try to get one started :)

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

In my university there is one. In my highschool, however, there was not.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

My University has a fairly large one, that does alot for the entire campus.. my highschool... definitely not.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

It kind of seems like it'll be a good idea but all it'll mean in my school is that it's just easier to pick them out and pick on them.... Stupid Airheads... :/

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

Nah, not many people i know are bisexual or gay, so there is no club. Would be cool :p

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

Our highschool has recently developed a GSA club/group that meets at lunch times once a week. I don't however think that there is a lot of comfort and willingness to attend by the individuals at our school. I think it may take a couple years for the group to really pick up.

My university has a very active student ran Pride society. We do campaigns, welfare stuff and lots of socials. I'm on the exec.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

My high school... no. I'm from a small town, so that's why. My college, I go to a community college and as far as I know, nothing like that exists. I wish it did. :(

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

We do..
But they need to work on how they present it. Theres signs every were in big letters

"THATS SO GAY!"
then in small font it talks about how that puts people down blah blah.

So better signs would help haha

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

The high school I went to never even considered such a thing. It's no big deal if you're not straight, nobody really cares, but my school also doesn't care about you, so whatever. It's a crappy place emotionally.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

nothing at all.
I go to a Girl's School which is really REALLY old fashioned.
No one would dare try and set one up just because the teachers would shut it down immediately.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

There is an entire faction at the University of Winnipeg for LGBT. It's insane.
And there are like, 300 members at least. And they have an event just about every week. U of W is very open and friendly for just about everything LGBT, and I'm proud to be apart of it. :)

It's a good place for me to go when I don't have anywhere else to go. Oh, and the free condoms are always nice... xP

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

No, but I think we should have one. Half of my year are gay or suspected to be gay.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

Hey the lib dem's student wing made a 'Homophobia is gay' campaign nationwide :p

Personally I have nothing against calling things, but realise many do, and therefore its silly to use such advertisement.

Also, now Section 28 is gone in the UK... I dont know if schools are actually allowed to ban such a thing... I'll ask one of my political friends.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

We do have one. There are actually a lot of members, although sadly I am not one of them. I am an officer of SADD (students against Destructive Decisions)

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

Well i know that everyone has a right to freedom of speech. And i think that includes clubs but....i think we have the right.
OH WAIT!
at school you dont have rights i forgot..

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

No.
Screw Catholic school. :(

The last bit of my post was at:

I forgot to quote.

I was actually agreeing people shouldnt do those campaigns. (To be fair, you arent in the UK, so UK laws would be irrelevant :p and schools would have grounds to ban such a campaign if they deemed it to be discriminative... and that use of gay can be considered so... though it is possible to argue you have limited rights at school.)

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

It's the South. We don't have a club and things like that aren't mentioned. However, I do know a large amount of people who are gay compared to our student population. They tend to flock to me because I'm pretty open about my bisexuality.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

No, I wish we did, but no. I live is Australia, it'd be nice to have one, I'd like to see more people my age who are what they are but *sigh* I think it's something that even the most confident person is afraid that the club will be shot down or they'll be the only one in it. But maybe that's just my P.O.V.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

No we don't.
I don't know if there is anyone in my school who is actually gay to be honest, and I know most of the elder kids.
We are quite small though, 250 kids, the eldest class being us, 17-18 year olds.
So I don't think anyone is out just quite yet for it to be an issue.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

My school has nothing like that but... in sixth form people are pretty excepting so it's not because everyone is homophobic.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

No, the high school that I went to doesn't have a GSA or anything like that. There really isn't anyone at my school that's out anyway. Not only that, but the people around here tend to be very narrow-minded and quiet about things like that.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

Yep! It's rather new, too.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

We still technically have a GSA, but we hardly ever meet or do anything. We were so much more active last year! :( I\'m glad we officially have one, though.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

I\'m outside of the USA. And I didn\'t even know those clubs exist!
I\'m really impressed.
Here it\'s a disaster... LGBT, at school? kids will just laugh about it...
But it\'s cool. I think someone should present a project. I\'m tired of all of this discrimination.

Re: Does your school have an LGBT club?
 

my old school is very very very conservative. One of the gay teachers isn\'t even allowed to say he\'s gay. It\'s a christian school, so I can see where they wouldn\'t be able to support that type of group. But yeh ... homosexuality or anything in that direction points in the direction of \'freak\'.
