I currently serve as the Chair of the Northern Virginia chapter of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) as well as the Co-Chair of GLSEN's National Advisory Council. Bullied myself throughout elementary school, I became a student leader for both GLSEN and the Anti-Defamation League during high school. Known as an advocate for gay rights, I have been recognized by GLSEN, the Anti-Defamation League, Battlefield High School, and Prince William County Schools for my work in protecting students for all reasons. Now as an adult leader for GLSEN and a facilitator for the Anti-Defamation League, I speak at schools and organizations throughout the region and the nation on a variety of issues including gay rights advocacy, anti-semitism, and anti-bias education.
This is a blog for all the straight allies out there and all of the members of the LGBT community looking for straight allies. Each blog post is going to talk about ways to be an ally, ways to advocate for the LGBT community, or ways to support equality. Please note that this blog is not affiliated with GLSEN, GLSEN Northern Virginia, or the Anti-Defamation League in any way. I am writing on my own behalf.
