Commit to creating LGBTQ-inclusive schools.

Today the US Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on three cases that ask whether or not federal law protects employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
If the court rules that protection on the basis of sex does not encompass sexual orientation and gender identity, existing federal protections for LGBTQ people could be stripped away and open the door for legalized discrimination.
John, at moments like this your support is critical to helping GLSEN stand with LGBTQ teachers and students. Can we count on you? [[link removed]]
If the Trump administration wins, LGBTQ educators, administrators, other school-based professionals, and LGBTQ people at large would be left without protections in more than half of the U.S.—they could be fired just for being themselves. That’s bad enough in itself, but the impact on LGBTQ youth could be catastrophic.
Research shows that the presence of one supportive adult saves lives for LGBTQ youth. Losing these educator role models will have an exponential effect on millions of LGBTQ students across the country. Because when educators aren’t safe at work, they can’t be there for the students who need them most.
John, please make a donation today to help support LGBTQ educators and students. It is urgent that we act quickly and stand together. [[link removed]]
