Oppressed Gay Youth? Fight back!

Gay youth are one of our most valuable resources and the most vulnerable! Gay teen suicide rates are the highest of any youth group in our nation. The constant harassment, bullying, and oppression in our school districts have prompted many districts to form Gay Straight Alliances.

Check out the FAQs at the Washington State GSA Network!

If you are a youth who is suffering from discrimination and harassment FIGHT BACK! Start your own GSA! For Spokane area youth, contact the Odyssey Youth Center at 509-325-3637. Or check out the GLSEN documents and support center HERE.

All youth should have the opportunity to be themselves and have a healthy, happy childhood without the fear of bullying and harassment!
