Schools & Youth

Get Busy, Get Equal has a ton of information for students, but also for parents, teachers and school administrators. Here's how to get around:
  • What's Your Problem? contains information to help you better understand your rights, what steps you should take to fight back, and how we might be able to help.

  • Change Your School gives you the tools you need to make your school a safer, more welcoming place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.

  • Library is a huge collection of information about schools issues for LGBT youth and links to handouts, letters, and legal briefs from both the ACLU's website and elsewhere on the web.

  • Get Help tells you how to contact us with questions about experiencing anti-gay discrimination in your school and how to find out what your rights are under the law.
 
  • Get a Safe Schools Policy
    Every school should want to prevent anti-LGBT harassment. Get a safe schools policy at your school.

  • Start a Gay-Straight Alliance
    You have the right to start a GSA. Here's how.
