John, as many of us know, bullies only win when they are not confronted. Hate only wins when people stand by and let it happen. Unfortunately, in 2022 we’ve seen the harm done to students and educational communities when politicians act like bullies and homophobes. This year alone, more than 200 anti-LGBTQ+ youth bills were introduced nationwide. None of us can let that stand.
Our LGBTQ+ youth should never feel like a societal burden or part of some cultural or political debate when they think about who they have a crush on, which sport or activity they wish to pursue, or which bathroom they should use when they go to school. School should be a place where they should learn, be inspired, and flourish into their best selves. This is why your donation to GLSEN matters.
When politicians target students with hateful policies, and school systems fail them, it's reassuring to know they can count on supporters like you to help them rise up. |
