For educators, parents, and gay students, GLSEN has some useful
tools to make the school year safe and productive for everyone.
First, they have a host of anti-bullying resources. This
includes their ThinkB4YouSpeak Campaign: "In partnership with
the Ad Council, GLSEN has created an educator’s guide to
accompany its PSA campaign about the hurtful and demeaning term
“that’s so gay.” The guide assists middle and high school
educators in presenting the various components of this campaign
to students, framing and discussing the ads in class, and
extending student learning about the negative consequences of
homophobic language and anti-LGBT bullying." ... and their Safe
Space program: "The Safe Space Kit will take you step by step
through the process of implementing a Safe Space program in your
school by teaching you to train allies, providing strategies for
support and intervention when anti-LGBT bias occurs, and
providing materials and ideas for making your program highly
visible." They also have a booklet. Prod
