The resources in this guide support the goals of the GLSEN. The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.
"Findings from the GLSEN 2009 National School Climate Survey demonstrate that Connecticut schools were not safe for many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) secondary school students. In addition, many LGBT students in Connecticut did not have access to important school resources, such as Gay-Straight Alliances, and were not protected by comprehensive bullying/harassment school policies." (GLSEN - Connecticut Chapter)
