my school recently started a gay straight alliance....
ok so we very recently started a gsa at our school
the issue is we have no clue what to do
weve only had three meeting
and all weve done is talk and stuff....we really want the club to be about somethin and have some point we can talk about and we cant think of anything to do
the other issue is parents are wondering what it is because they want to know what in the world there kids are doin and we dont know what to tell them..
we have a teacher and everything we can go on independent field trips and everything we live in ohio and any suggestions would be very helpful even if its just "go to the movies"
thankzz

Hi :)
I think what your school is doing is a great idea! Instead of talking, why don't you guys also go out there and spread the word around school. Take surveys about what students think of this alliance. Form fundraisers to donate to charities or go on educational trips. Be well informed about what the alliance is devoted to, and inform everyone in your school, and outside.
As far as parents, I can definitely relate as to why you don't really wanna just say it. Sometimes they disapprove of certain lifestyles, and think that their opinion is the one that matters most, instead of their child's. In this case, I'd still tell them what it is. It's to accept people for who they are, support them, and stop discrimination. In my opinion, if your lifestyle is not harming you or anyone else, then do as you please! Parents/Guardians must understand that YOU have your own opinion too. And it DOES count. You have a right to disagree with what they feel is right, without disrespecting them of course.
About going to trips, definitely go see documentaries or indie films about the LGBT community. Know the history, the rights they have. Go to museums, I mean, even the internet is fine lol. Knowledge is power :) good luck!
