LGBT Youth - Speak Out About Your School Experiences!

Help GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian
and Straight Education Network) inform education policymakers and the public
about what's really going on in our nation's schools by completing the 2009
National School Climate Survey, GLSEN's sixth national survey about the
experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth in school.
If you attended high school or
middle school sometime during the last school year (2008-2009) and are at
least 13 years old, tell us about your experiences in school. (If you
did not complete the entire school year you are still eligible.) The survey
is completely anonymous.
For more info and to complete the
survey online, visit: www.glsen.org/2009survey
