Teens Experiences Being Gay in School

By Ellen Friedrichs, About.com Guide

From Purell:

Other than myself, there are only two guys in my GSA, and we are all bisexual. Our GSA doesn't do much of anything, we will decorate a GSA board outside of the school newspaper office, but other people at my school tend to take it upon themselves to draw [nasty stuff] all over our posters if we put them anywhere else. I think that in my school's GSA, we have a total of maybe 12 members, 7 of them freshman girls, 2 senior girls, and then the three of us junior guys.
