GLSEN - Promoting Inclusivity and Equality

Welcome to the GLSEN page of St Andrew’s Episcopal Church! As a community-driven and inclusive church, we are dedicated to promoting the values of equality, acceptance, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

What is GLSEN?

GLSEN, which stands for Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, is a national organization that strives to create safe and affirming schools for LGBTQ+ students. With a focus on K-12 education, GLSEN provides research-based resources, support, and advocacy to empower educators and students alike.

The Importance of Inclusive Education

Ensuring an inclusive educational environment is vital for the overall well-being and success of LGBTQ+ students. Research has shown that when students feel safe and supported at school, they are more likely to thrive academically and emotionally. GLSEN works tirelessly to address issues such as bullying, discrimination, and harassment, ensuring that schools become nurturing spaces for all students.

GLSEN and Faith

At St Andrew’s Episcopal Church, we believe that faith plays a crucial role in creating a compassionate and understanding community. We recognize that different faiths and beliefs can coexist harmoniously, embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. Our partnership with GLSEN is a testament to our commitment to building a society that values every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Through our GLSEN Events and Library, we aim to raise awareness, educate, and provide resources for individuals seeking to create inclusive spaces within their own communities. Join us for insightful workshops, guest lectures, and engaging discussions on topics such as LGBTQ+ rights, advocacy, and the power of faith in fostering acceptance.
