If anyone is interested, Amnesty International has put together a really fantastic pride toolkit. Take advantage of this great resource individually or better yet, invite some friends over and have fun doing some of these activities together!

Even though it has been a year since we last met, I still would like to recognize the annual Day of Silence. Whether you participated today on your own or not, please take a moment today to remember what Day of Silence stands for - those LGBT people who have been "silenced" by discrimination, bullying and hate.

The GSA may have been short lived, but our difference mattered. We needed a voice then and will continue to for as long as there are hate groups, anti-LGBT laws and sentiments around the world. I am aware that everyone is busy, but I think it would benefit remaining members and those future interested to perhaps hold some form of meeting. Since I am no longer there, I am depending on all of YOU to make this happen. Don't let our GSA become just a fond memory of last year.

Break the Silence between our organization and the student body and reunite with the cause. The GSA was created to make NHS a safe space and to create a dialogue regarding the LGBT community and issues. Please consider following through if only through your small groups. Tell your friends, teachers and fellow students that you, the GSA, are an important part of student life and well being at NHS.

Thank you,
Lydia Jarvi

Check out these awesome LGBT college scholarships that the HRC has compiled! This is just the Michigan list, so you should check out the National list if you are interested in applying for several.

(There's even one from Northern Michigan University!)

Learn more about HRC’s work to advance LGBT equality and educate the public about LGBT issues.

Want a free LGBT for Obama sticker?

I just signed up for my free Obama Pride: LGBT for Obama bumper sticker so I can let everyone know I've got the President's back. Join me in showing your support for the candidate who supports LGBT Americans.

We couldn't have accomplished anything without our advisor. Thank you so much for being there for the GSA when nobody else was. I'm sure I speak for the whole GSA when I say that we will miss you, Mrs. Houghton! :)

Everyone should be so proud of our president! Check out these infographics for some fast facts displayed so handsomely.

Check out this slideshow to see all the ways President Obama has moved us forward on LGBT equality, from ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to supporting same-sex marriage.
