Dedicated to creating safer schools and supporting GSAs in Kansas. #LGBT #equality

[GLSEN Kansas @GLSENKS]

Anyone remember 3 years ago when we helped facilitate @tyleroakley's visit to Cheney, KS, just before graduations?!

This #ChosenFamily segment featured one of our former student leader's efforts to start a GSA in his rural high school.

BREAKING: The Biden administration declared that federal law protects LGBTQ people from health care discrimination.

This move affirms the rights LGBTQ people fought for and won in court.

As states attack health care for trans youth, this is a critical recognition of our rights.

[GLSEN Kansas @GLSENKS]

Check out the new Minor Name Change Toolkit for Kansas! There's even a Know Your Rights section!

We're grateful for our friends at @KLSforkansas and @aclukansas for the work they've put in to make this process more accessible for transgender youth!

My statement on Senate Bill 55:

We're so grateful to all of the businesses, faith leaders, and health professionals who are doing VISIBLE allyship for trans youth! HUGE THANKS to those who've already signed, showing KS trans folx that they are valued and belong in KS.

We are partnering with @KansasEquality to help KS businesses, faith leaders, and health professionals tell legislators to support trans students and oppose SB208/SB55, the anti-trans sports bill.

[GLSEN Kansas @GLSENKS]

Hopefully this is the final ACTION ALERT on SB55!

Please follow the link to learn what YOU can do, right now, before the veto session starts on Monday, to ask legislators to not overturn Governor Kelly’s veto of SB55.

Kansas Legal Services, Inc. released a guide to changing a minor's name without a lawyer.

We had heard that trans youth and their families were not being granted name changes. This guide is meant to help you affirm your rights and complete the process.

@manspeaker @MelissaStiehler @catswantsalami @JenniferDay4KS @GovLauraKelly The point of #DayOfSilence is to raise awareness and #BreakTheSilence that LGBTQ youth know too well can be deadly. We’ve seen outspoken student leaders positively impact school climate with this Day of Action.

Feel free to tune in to @GLSEN’s Breaking The Silence rally, 6pm CT.

[GLSEN @GLSEN]

Today is the day.

We’re so grateful for all of you joining us today in solidarity with tens and thousands of students around the world, as we protest the erasure and silencing of #LGBTQ+ people during the #DayOfSilence.

[ACLU of Kansas @aclukansas]

Today is @GLSEN's Day of Silence, a national student-led demonstration of LGBTQ+ students and allies. We worked with @GLSENKS on fighting anti-trans legislation this year, and support all those making their voice heard by staying silent. #dayofsilence

@manspeaker @JenniferDay4KS @catswantsalami @GovLauraKelly It’s not passivity. It’s protest.
