Hello,
I recently started a GSA/QSU/Coalition at my high school. We had a really good turn out for our first meeting, considering my school is really unspirited about most things. I am trying to think of topics that we could discuss at our next meeting. Any suggestions?
PS: We already talked about how we feel the our school’s environment concerning the LGBT community, although we had an all girl turn out.
You can talk about who in the group is out and who’s not! In my GSA we always made sure noone inadvertently outed someone in their other social situations by mentioning what they may have said. We also discouraged talking about personal information from GSA outside of GSA.
You can also discuss whether anyone’s facing any hardships like coming out, unaccepting parents, gay bashing, etc. It helps for everyone to gain trust and be able to talk about it so they don’t turn to more dangerous alternatives!
Talk about if you guys want to fund raise for a cause like HRC or AIDS research. (Bake sale, Change collection, Water/Candy sale booth at football games.)
Does everyone watch TRLW? New season coming! Just something to mention.
Lastly you could tell all the girlies about Autostraddle! Whether or not they want to join there are some pretty awesome articles and things here.
These are just some things that we discussed at my GSA when i was in high school. Hope I helped!

Thank you. I will keep them in mind.
