Not only are school years a time for intense personal discovery and growth, but they are usually a time of intense pressures, including the pressure to conform, and bullying.
For those reasons, Gay-Straight Alliances, or Gender and Sexuality Associations, or Diversity clubs are critical.
If your school doesn't have such an organization, consider starting one. See here and here. As another school year ramps up, don't let your school be without such an organization!
If you school already has one, consider joining and/or supporting it. Student, faculty, and parental support are all needed.
Whether starting or joining, please do what you can to make the organization welcoming, inclusive, and accepting of all whose identity, sexual orientation, relationship orientation, or existing relationship (or that of their parents) makes them a target for discrimination or bullying.
