Your GSA group chat is great and all, but what if you could meet an ENTIRE ROOM of people who just get it?

That's the idea behind the Miami GSA Summit, and trust us, you're going to want to bring your crew.

We're talking new friends from other schools, fresh ideas to take back to your club, opportunities to build your leadership skills, and a whole lot of q***r community packed into one Saturday. Whether your GSA has 30 members and a color-coded calendar or it's just you and three friends trying to figure out what to do at your next meeting, there's something here for you. And yes, there's food... we know our audience.

The best part? You don't have to show up knowing how to be a leader or having all the answers. Come curious, bring your questions, meet people who are figuring things out too, and maybe leave with a few ideas that could completely change what your GSA looks like this year.

📅 Saturday, November 14 | 10 AM to 5 PM
📍 Miami (location shared after registration)
🍕 Food and transportation support available!

Open to middle and high school students, parents, and educators.
Your GSA's next favorite memory might be one registration away.

Imagine being q***r when you can’t Google anything.

No “q***r events near me,” no dating apps, and no Instagram posts telling you what's happening Friday night.

And yet, somehow, we found each other.

Maybe it was a flyer you almost walked past, a bookstore that carried the right magazine, a friend who knew about a bar, a number you could call, or one person quietly introducing you to another. Q***r community traveled through word of mouth, newspapers, bulletin boards, phone lines, parties, meeting rooms, and all the little breadcrumbs people left behind for whoever came looking next.

The internet may have made finding each other a whole lot easier, but it definitely didn’t invent the instinct, because q***r people have always had a way of finding community, even when finding it required knowing someone who knew someone who knew the spot.

Basically, we’ve always been very good at finding the function.

Q***r Latine people showing up to LGBTQ+ history late?

Please. We were already busy making it.

Before Stonewall, José Sarria was turning q***r voters into a political force. During and after Stonewall, Sylvia Rivera was fighting to make sure liberation included the people being pushed aside. A generation later, Hialeah’s own Pedro Zamora was changing how millions of Americans understood HIV, q***rness, and what it meant to live openly.

And those are just three names in a much, much bigger story.

So for Hispanic Heritage Month, consider this your reminder to put a little more respect on q***r Latine history.

We’ve always been here, and we’ve been BUSY.

Some of the best conversations about voting don’t start with a speech about democracy. Sometimes they start with, “Wait, I can update my address here?” or “Florida has closed primaries?” 🗳️

We had plenty of those conversations during our voter registration drive with Lambda at St. Thomas University, where students came by with questions, hesitations, and a genuine curiosity about how they could make their voices count in the communities they now call home.

Some were still deciding whether voting felt worth it. Others were ready to move their registration to South Florida so they could have a say in what happens around them. A few learned about Florida’s closed primary system for the first time and decided they wanted to update their party registration so they could participate more fully in future elections.

But what made the day especially exciting was watching students register other students. 💚

Our volunteers learned how to help their peers navigate voter registration, put their own knowledge into practice, and did something that can actually be pretty vulnerable: walking up to someone you know, starting a conversation about civic participation, and risking a “no” because getting even one more person involved is worth asking.

That’s what youth civic engagement can look like. Not just casting a ballot when Election Day comes around, but learning how our democracy works, helping someone else understand it too, and realizing that participation can spread from one conversation to the next.

Huge thank you to and every student who registered, asked a question, volunteered, or stopped to talk with us.

If Pride Month is in June, why does LGBTQ+ History Month happen in October?

The answer goes back to 1994, when Missouri high school teacher Rodney Wilson had a pretty simple but powerful idea: LGBTQ+ people deserved to see themselves in the history they were learning. October was chosen intentionally, in part because students were in school, making education central to the month from the very beginning.

More than 30 years later, there is still so much of that history many of us never encountered in a classroom. We might know Stonewall, Harvey Milk, or the rainbow flag, but LGBTQ+ history stretches far beyond the stories that became the most recognizable. It lives in protests and politics, art and nightlife, HIV/AIDS activism, student organizing, chosen families, community spaces, and countless people who found ways to care for one another and create change.

So this month, PRISM is asking a question: How did we get here?

Throughout October, we'll be following the people, places, movements, and ideas that shaped LGBTQ+ life as we know it, including some stories that happened much closer to home than you might expect.

Because learning our history isn't only about looking backward. It can help us understand the communities we've inherited, the progress people before us fought for, and the history we're creating right now.

So, what changes when LGBTQ+ young people actually get to learn their history?

Let's find out. Happy LGBTQ+ History Month

You know that book you’ve been meaning to read? Yeah, us too.

So we’re starting the official PRISM Book Club, and we’re kicking things off with Dean Spade’s Love in a F*cked-Up World, a book about how we build stronger relationships, communities, and movements while practicing care, accountability, and collective action.

And before you start stressing about finishing the reading: this is a casual book club. Seriously.

We’ll meet throughout October and November for relaxed, community-focused gatherings that include a brief read-along and guided conversation. Discussion questions and additional resources will be shared ahead of time, a free PDF of the book is available, and hybrid options will help make it easier to join across South Florida. If you fall behind on a chapter, come anyway. Your presence matters more than keeping up with the reading.

We’ll be taking the conversation across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, then wrapping everything up with a closing potluck on November 15.

Come for the book, stay for the conversation, and maybe leave knowing your community, and yourself, a little differently.

Our first gathering is Sunday, October 4 from 3 to 5 PM at Dear Eleanor in Miami-Dade.

If you’ve ever been in a conversation about which word we’re “supposed” to use, you already know the answer can get complicated pretty quickly.

That’s partly because we’re trying to find language for communities that span dozens of countries, cultures, histories, racial identities, languages, and experiences. Of course one word isn’t going to feel right to everyone.

For some people, Latino or Latina feels like home. Others prefer Hispanic, Latine, Latinx, Afro-Latino, or something more specific like Cuban, Colombian, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Dominican, and beyond. Some of us switch between several depending on the conversation, and some would rather skip the umbrella terms altogether.

The interesting part isn’t figuring out which word wins. It’s listening to why people choose the words they do.

So we want to hear from you: What word do you use for yourself, and why?

Maybe we’ll all leave the comments knowing a little more about each other.
