“Some of these model policies make it okay to discriminate and to bully against transgender students,” said a parent of a trans student. Virginians made it clear that LGBTQ+ youth deserve safety, respect and the opportunity to thrive. bit.ly/3QkpfxI
We join @EqualityVA and others in expressing deep concern regarding the new model policies released late yesterday that would jeopardize the safety and well-being of transgender & non-binary students across VA.

Our statement on the Youngkin administration targeting LGBTQ+ youth in newly released VDOE policies. #TransYouthBelongVA
Youngkin officials quietly pulled LGBTQ+ youth resources off a VA Dept. of Health website. LGBTQ+ youth do better socially, emotionally and academically when they have access to resources and feel connected to a supportive community. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Congratulations and happy summer to staff, students, parents, caregivers and all who support them on the completion of the 2022-23 school year!
We must rise up and fight to protect our most vulnerable communities. We won’t stay silent. #RiseUp4LGBTQ
We're proud to join forces with @family_equality, @glaad, @NBJContheMove, @HRC, @NCLRights and @TheTaskForce in calling on the business community to rise up against anti-#LGBTQ+ extremists. glsen.org/news/leading-l…
Today is #DayOfSilence — GLSEN's national day of action pushing back against the silencing of LGBTQ+ youth and the erasure of their experiences. Learn more at glsen.org/dayofsilence And don't forget to join our Breaking the Silence Rally tonight at 7PM ET on Instagram Live!
In honor of the over 2 million LGBTQ+ youth who exist in the United States, GLSEN created the Rise Up campaign to engage affirming communities and show 2 million displays of public support. Visit glsen.org/riseup to Rise Up with us today. #RiseUp4LGBT
As Youngkin talks to a national audience about his education record, let's remember how he treats Queer students. He wants to: ❌ Forcibly out students ❌ Implement a trans bathroom ban ❌ Misgender and deadname students Students are fighting back. Retweet if you're with us.
Happy Diwali!
Supportive resources for LGBTQ+ students have decreased. Harassment has increased. And the majority of LGBTQ+ students don’t feel safe in school. Our latest National School Climate Study shows that now more than ever, students need us. Click to read: glsen.us/nscs
The September 16th VDOE proposal harms trans and gender-expansive students, their families and educators and we strongly oppose it! See our joint statement with @FCPSPride, @FCFTcares, @AEA_FCPS, @HispanicEducat2, @4publicedva, @JCRCgw, @ADL_WashDC, @TGEA4u, and @FEA_Fairfax.

The changes proposed by Governor Youngkin to Model Polices on Transgender students are damaging to students, families, teachers, businesses and public education. Read the full statement at docs.google.com/document/d/10i….
See attached Joint Statement in Opposition to Youngkin Dept of Education proposal to withdraw protections and rights from Transgender Students and their parents/guardians/families. docs.google.com/document/d/10i…
Later today, some extremist outlets are going to launch bad-faith attacks that say we're run by other organizations because students care about multiple causes. While we're proud of our organizers who engage with other justice work, we're completely independent and student-led.
Almost half of Virginia K-12 students attend school in divisions that have fully adopted the VDOE model policy that protects trans and non-binary students. That policy is still in effect today. #ProtectTransKids
We are appalled by new model policies in VA that rollback protections for transgender students. School policies should embrace, not restrict, our students’ identities. We urge our community to speak up & push back against these measures. Find out how: townhall.virginia.gov/L/GDocForum.cf….

Very disturbed that the Spotsylvania School Board is suggesting burning books that they deem “offensive.” Students deserve access to books that reflect their identities & allow for exploration of differences. Targeting LGBTQ+ books is hurtful and wrong. bit.ly/3n5JfVK
Congrats to my friend @EByard for a very well-deserved honor. Join me in supporting and donating to @GLSEN, @GLSENResearch, @GLSENNoVa, and other state/local chapters to promote respect for the rights of #LGBTQ students
We also thank GLSEN’s former Executive Director, Eliza Byard, for her visionary leadership and for bringing together so many stories of LGBTQ+ students she and GLSEN have impacted.
