We're back!

Welcome back everyone! We are meeting in my room (C123) every Tuesday and Thursday. Come hang out, socialize, and maybe make some plans for the year's events. Next up is Pink Shirt Day (http://pinkshirtday.ca/)...I like the shirt's slogan this year!

Youth Event in Vancouver

Check out the IGNITE Theater Festival May 5-10: click for website! These are brand new plays created, directed, staged and performed by youth.  Look for flyers around the school as well :)

What do you think?

Thinking of updating the name of our group to the GENDER SEXUALITY ALLIANCE....

Pink Shirt Day!

Stream Documentary for Free this weekend!

The documentary about transgender singer/songwriter Rae Spoon is available to watch for FREE on January 26 and 27...click on this link:  My Prairie Home

Blue about the Olympic Games in Russia?

Want to make it a little more RAINBOW? Check out The Fair Games Project: (also on Facebook). I've added the link to Watch This! below as well. The group wants to use "viral video" to promote awareness of injustice to LGBTQ people around the world. I am not advocating that you donate to their cause, but suggesting that you have a look at how one group wants to protest discrimination of LGBTQ rights in Russia and around the world while still supporting gay and straight athletes in the Games.

Pizza Sales fundraiser on Friday!

Come out in front of the office tomorrow at lunch to help sell pizza to the masses...proceeds to the GSA for future fun events!

Where's my peeps?

Hi! We're still meeting twice a week, but our numbers have dwindled. Grab a friend and bring them to our Thursday lunch meeting! The more, the merrier :)
