Study On Gay-Straight Alliances In School

New research has found that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth who attend middle or high schools with Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) have better mental health as young adults, are less likely to drop out of high school, and more likely to attend college. Published in the current issue of Applied Developmental Science, this is the first study to show that GSA participation is related to long-term benefits. The study, High School Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) and Young Adult Well-Being, is based on data from the Family Acceptance Project's survey of LGBT young adults, which examined the school-related experiences of 245 LGBT young adults, ages 21 to 25.

HRC Statement on California Supreme Court Ruling in Prop 8 Case

  

 

The Human Rights Campaign, today commented on the California Supreme Court's advisory ruling that the proponents of Proposition 8 have standing to defend the constitutionality of California's amendment stripping marriage equality from committed same-sex couples.  The Court's opinion is in response to a request from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as it considers the appeal of the historic August 2010 decision in Perry v. Schwarzenegger (now titled Perry v. Brown) that Prop 8 violates the guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.  The case now returns to the Ninth Circuit, which will have to decide if it agrees with the California Supreme Court.  That decision could be appealed to a broader panel of the Ninth Circuit and, eventually, the U.S. Supreme Court.  HRC President Joe Solmonese issued the following statement:
