People are put down, harassed, and abused everyday because of their sexual preferences and sexual identity. This type of discrimination causes only fear and distress. It doesn't have to be like this. With your help we can work on creating a school environment where everyone feels welcome and no is scared. Joining this club does not make you gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
