GLSEN and students across the county, often as members of Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) or similar student clubs, will celebrate Ally Week on October 15-19 in schools and communities nationwide.
Ally Week is a week for students to organize events that serve to identify, support and celebrate Allies against anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) language, bullying and harassment in America's schools. Students plan events appropriate to their school community.
Ally Week is dedicated to identifying, supporting and celebrating Allies against anti-LGBT bullying and harassment.
President Obama has stated his support for equality. We request that he show his support as an ally by flying the Rainbow Flag outside of the White House.
