Well, my school has a GSA. Just recently, the school administration decided that we're not allowed to openly admit our sexuality in the club. Apparently, there are people in the club for the "wrong reasons" and they don't want those members to go around telling others who is gay and what not.
Seriously? For a lot of us, that's the only place we feel safe enough to be who we are. If you take that away from us, then there's no point in having a GSA! A bunch of us are going to protest.
Now, I can understand why they would do that though. But if you are ready to admit it, you should be able to. For a lot of people, that's their first step to coming out.
Your thoughts?
On a side note, I'm 1 of like 10 guys in the GSA at my school.

This kind of thing might instill subconscious paranoia in your schools gay population. I've honestly never heard that excuse before. Honestly, it's a pretty ******** up boogieman to stick in the kids' head.

Yeah, that's dumb. If there's already a GSA, then what's the point in making people hide their orientation? That's a bunch of BS if you ask me.

Not being able to tell your orientation in a GSA?
I thought they were there for support.

What the hell? Are they for real? GSAs are meant exactly FOR telling your orientation to people! To come out and know that there will be people to support you! That's like making a Religious Diversity club and not allowing people to talk about religion! Totally ridiculous.
Schools are scrambling more and more these days to shelter us from the most natural and beautiful things. I honestly can't stand closed minded people.

MusicallyObsessedBoi Apparently, there are people in the club for the "wrong reasons" and they don't want those members to go around telling others who is gay and what not. This makes it sound like there are people in the GSA who are there to out people publicly against their will. sweatdrop

Of course it is very wrong, but at least it was a well-intended mistake. This school needs to follow the recent trend in cracking down on bullying, rather than pass such obviously flawed rules.

CheizLord GSA LEADER: So on today's topic lets talk about homosexuality- oh wait. we cant. GROUP: ... WHAT KIND OF CLUB IS THAT??? I don't see where it says they can't talk about GLBT issues- just that they aren't supposed to out themselves to the group, which is what I read. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though?

CheizLord Esiris CheizLord oh... well either way its still retarded.... Could you not use the word retarded? It's really offensive. Honestly its best not to take offense to certain words because you can't possibly ask EVERYONE to stop using them. It's no different than people saying that's so gay. I hated when people said but I realized you can't ask the whole world to stop. so I've learned to not take terminology personally and you shouldn't either. I ask people not to use hate speech where they link something bad to a condition people live with- that means using gay, retarded or other words as slurs and insults. Please don't do it again- it's hurtful to see people treat those I care about with mental disabilities as being less than people like you and I- and that's what you're doing when you use the word that way.
