My Project

GSA club is a way for all students to meet and discuss issues around LGBTQAI communities. We hope to provide a community of students that fall on all parts of the spectrum. We build toward inclusivity and understanding. The Beman GSA is a group of students that meets twice a month to help support each other. Sometimes we meet and talk about our needs and feelings, sometimes we just listen to music and help each other feel accepted. We build all year to a culminating event with the Middletown Pride Parade in June.
