Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network (GSA Network)
GSA Network is a national nonprofit that helps students start and run Genders and Sexualities Alliance clubs to fight homophobia and transphobia in schools.
GSA Network is a national nonprofit that supports student-led Genders and Sexualities Alliance clubs in schools. Founded by Carolyn Laub in 1998 with 40 clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area and still headquartered in Oakland, California, it now operates nationwide. GSA originally stood for Gay-Straight Alliance. The network changed the name in 2016 to Genders and Sexualities Alliance to better reflect the range of identities of the youth it serves. GSA clubs give LGBTQ+ students and their allies a safe space and a base for organizing, and the network provides training, resources, and advocacy. Research has linked the presence of a GSA to safer school climates and better outcomes for LGBTQ+ students.
