    My school does. Brand new as of last year, so there aren't many people in it yet. Glad we could finally have a GSA though :slight_smile:

    No. Schools in the UK don't tend to have a GSA. I've never been to a school with one.

    Nope, my school has 600 people from year 7-12. I don't think any Australian high schools have GSAs

    My high school of about 800 didn't have a GSA. When I think about it, it really wouldn't be necessary either. At least when I was there it was a very non-threatening place.

    Mine kind of does. It's called the social justice committee and its about racism and homophobia specifically. I think I'll do it this year.

    Yep! My university has one. It goes by GLAD. We had an ice cream social last wednesday (there wasn't even enough room for all of us in the ice cream parlor), and I'm gonna go to the regular member meetings too. =) I met some very sweet people, and nerded out with a few of them for a few hours sitting in the grass. It was wonderful!

    It looks like it's a really active organization, and I am pleased! <3
