LGBT Youth OUT and in the Schools
LGBT advocates have been working to develop leaders and make schools safer by supporting Gay/Straight Alliances (GSAs) in schools. However, strategic and coordinated efforts are being employed by the radical right to circumvent the Equal Access Act's Protections and make Gay/Straight Alliances less accessible in schools. Meanwhile, legal advocates are working hard to prevent anti-gay harassing speech while protecting LGBT-affirming speech. Come to this workshop to get the latest on these complex Constitutional issues and learn how best to advocate, and when to litigate, on behalf of LGBT students.
