GSAs

Currently in New Brunswick there are under 20 Gay Straight Alliances. This number is shocking given the number of schools in the Provence. The GSAs are important because these groups allow for both LGBT students and straight students to educate themselves and others on LGBT issues.

The prime years for these groups are in middle and high schools because it is in these age groups where students are most vulnerable and impressionable. I have seen first hand the impact that GSAs can have on students and I feel that we need more of them in the province.

Educate yourself and petition to have
a group at your local schools.
