Founded in 2014, the Ilima “Rainbow Royales” club was the first GSA in a middle school in the State of Hawaii. GSA members, known on campus as the “rainbows,” seek to create a learning community that supports all students while affirming LGBTQ+ identities through education. By participating in GLSEN campus events such as Ally Week, No Name Calling Week, and National Day of Silence, the Rainbow Royales have made their school a safer, more accepting place to learn and grow.
Yesterday thousands joined Bravo’s Andy Cohen and Charlie Carver (Boys from the Band) for Respect Everywhere. Catch up on all the Respect Everywhere video announcements here.
Join us all week as GLSEN celebrates Respect Everywhere: a celebration honoring LGBTQ students and their allies. At a moment like this, connection to community is crucial for our collective resilience. Together we are doing everything we can to provide support for K-12 LGBTQ students.
Join us in creating a platform for positive change!
