The Druid Hills Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) brings youth together to raise tolerance and awareness of different sexual orientations and gender identities. We believe everyone, regardless of their differences, deserves the chance to come to school and learn in a safe, harassment-free environment. The main goal for GSA is to create a place where gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight students can meet with their peers to promote education and community interaction to generate confidence and greater understanding.
