On this and every day, we support all trans and nonbinary students and colleagues—out or not—for who they know themselves to be. We continue to work toward a world where this visibility is not legislated, but celebrated.

Today was the culmination (but also only phase 1) of a project GSAFE has been working on for a few years. We gave a bundle of LGBTQ focused books to more than one hundred libraries in Guilford County Schools! If you want to donate or be involved with phase 2 let us know!

Big thanks to Barry O. Brinkley for being an incredible leader in GCS. Check out his quote at the end.

We’re grateful to Guilford Green Foundation & LGBTQ Center and all of the many individual donors who are making this donation possible!

An area non-profit that works to make schools safe and inclusive for LGBTQ youth received a grant to provide age appropriate LGBTQ inclusive books to every public school in Guilford County.

Check out today’s article in the News & Record to learn more about the grant we were awarded and why it matters so much.

“Briggs said the survey also reported that students in schools with LGBTQ resources, like books, were less likely to hear homophobic remarks, were less likely to feel unsafe because of their sexual orientation, were less likely to miss school because they felt unsafe, and performed better academically, including having plans to pursue higher education.”

Guilford Green Foundation, one of about a dozen le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender community foundations in the country, recently announced the winners of this year's $30,000 in grants.

We have exciting news! Thanks to Guilford Green Foundation & LGBTQ Center and all of our individual donors, we have secured the remaining funding needed to donate LGBTQ+ books to every school library (108!) in Guilford County Schools. We’re working hard to make sure the donations are ready for the launch of the 2019-2020 school year, so stay tuned! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

“It’s scary, I know. For so many of us, this is uncharted territory. But to ignore these [teachable] moments would be to operate in opposition to justice.”

Three strategies elementary school teachers can use to foster a sense of inclusion for le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, and q***r students.
