Tuesday 20, What you missed.

Gay Straight Alliance speakers came in to speak to us about the group and unacceptable behavior.

*Class is not allowed to use ANY gay slurs (or other derogatory words) in this classroom from this day forward.

  1. Nice blog, I was hoping to use the same background on mine. Are students viewing the pages pretty regularly?

  2. I found this presentation quite interesting. It's great to have an association at school that spreads awareness of this situation. Now that some people have listened to what the group members have said, they will support them as well. People are people, and their sexuality doesn't make them any different than us. No person should be shunned because of what others think. Overall, this presentation has really educated me on this issue. c:

  3. It was really nice to have the GSA come into our class to talk about what they are all about. What is not so nice is how there are only two members! Their words have inspired me to want to join the group. It is really important to get the word out about an issue that has caused suicide upon many teenage individuals. To any students that read this: don't be afraid to join! You can be like me, a straight individual, to be a part of it. DON'T think that you actually have to be LGBT.

    P.S. I'm extremely glad that gay slurs will not be tolerated. :)

  4. I loved that GSA came in and talked to our class! I do not think that people are aware that saying "no homo" might actually hurt somebody's feelings! I'm glad they came in and talked to us :)

  5. I think it was cool that GSA came in and talked to us. It takes a lot of nerve to get up in front of a group of people and touch on that subject. But i think they did a really good job. I give them my props and i am happy they took there time to talked to us
