It is not only individuals who have provided us with Shoulders To Stand On, it is also organizations, agencies and groups. This month Shoulders To Stand On will look at GLSEN Rochester and Gay Straight Alliances (GSA’s) in the Rochester area.
GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, is the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students. Established nationally in 1995, GLSEN envisions a world in which every child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation or genderidentity/expression. Founded as a local group in 1990, the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Network (GLSTN) began as a volunteer group of 70 gay and lesbian educators.
