The Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth
1. A History of the Law
Massachusetts made history when Governor William F. Weld signed the Gay and Lesbian Student Rights Law on December 10, 1993. Massachusetts became the only state in the country to have full support for gay students through its governor, who created the nation's first Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and through the state legislature, which voted overwhelmingly in favor of the law.
The law prohibits discrimination in public schools on the basis of sexual orientation. Gay students are guaranteed redress when they suffer name calling, threats of violence, and unfair treatment in school. A student suffering from harassment can go to the principal, school board, and school administration and expect intervention and protection. Gay students have the legal right to full participation in all school courses, clubs, and activities.
The right to form a gay/straight alliance at school is ensured by the law. Schools have the legal obligation to provide the same materials, space, financial support, publicity, and all other support provided to any other student group or club.
There are over ten thousand gay, lesbian, and bisexual students in Massachusetts schools whose lives will be safer and whose educational opportunities will be increased because of the passage of the Gay Student Rights Law.
The extraordinary victory achieved on December 10, 1993 was due to a spectacular lobbying effort by up to one thousand gay and straight students across Massachusetts. Hundreds of students attended rallies on Beacon Hill and met with their state legislators. Students organized letter-writing campaigns in their high schools and displayed posters and information about the legislation.
Courageous gay and lesbian teenagers told their personal stories of harassment and unjust treatment in school at public forums and on television, radio, and in print. The unprecedented student lobbying effort made national headlines: NBC News, the New York Times, National Public Radio, and CBS Radio News gave extraordinary coverage to the students' efforts and their victory. The blaze of national news has inspired students across the nation to follow the lead of Massachusetts students and begin plans to introduce similar anti-discrimination legislation in their states.
Gay and straight students made history in Massachusetts through their courage, their perseverance, and their unwillingness to be silent and closeted in response to anti-gay discrimination and bigotry. The law's passage was the culmination of a labor of love for hundreds, but it was just the beginning, the dawn of a new movement throughout the Commonwealth which will carry the message of the law to hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts students.
2. How to Publicize the Law in Your School
There are hundreds of thousands of high school students attending over 300 high schools in Massachusetts. We need to inform all students that it is illegal to discriminate against gay students in our schools.
Educating students and faculty about the existence of the law and about the rights it guarantees can help create a more supportive and accepting atmosphere in our public schools for gay youth.
Student Handbook and School Policies on Harassment and Discrimination
An essential way to implement and publicize the law is to use it as leverage to change the language in the student handbook in your school. School policies concerning harassment and discrimination exist in all schools. Gay and lesbian students must be included in these policies to be consistent with Massachusetts law.
Set up a meeting with your school principal to discuss changing the language in your school's student handbook. When the handbook and policies are changed, ask your principal to publicize the changes so that all students and faculty know about the law.
Posters, Flyers, and Copies of the Law
Displaying a poster on a school bulletin board will ensure that hundreds of students will learn about the law. Under the provisions of the law, you have the right to display a poster, as long as you follow the standard procedure for use of school bulletin boards and displays.
You can design your own flyer about the law using the language of the law and other materials. Mass produced flyers can be distributed in faculty mailBoxes and handed out in homerooms, school clubs, and at school dances.
Handing out copies of the actual bill which Governor Weld signed is an excellent way of bringing the law to the attention of the students in your school. The copy of the signed bill could also be reproduced in student publications.
Other Suggestions
Have a Gay and Lesbian Awareness Day/Week to promote understanding of gay and lesbian student rights.
Invite a speaker to your school to talk about the law at a school assembly or
forum. Speakers could be from the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian
Youth or the Department of Education.
Write an article about the law for your student newspaper, school yearbook, or
your town newspaper.
Work with students on projects about student rights in general, including
rights for gay and lesbian youth.
by Michael T. Duffy, Chair
Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination
When Governor Weld signed the bill into law on December 10, 1993, this was a victory for gay students, for their friends and classmates who care about gay rights, and for all who believe that no American, young or old, should suffer from discrimination.
The MCAD is the state's civil rights enforcement agency. That means we educate the public about issues of discrimination and unfairness. Ultimately, our goal is to prevent discrimination from ever happening by informing the public that there will be consequences for actions which infringe on the freedom and rights of others.
I look forward to working closely with the Department of Education to inform students, school principals, and superintendents, as well as teachers and parents, about the rights guaranteed gay students under this exciting new law.
Prejudice is a terrible thing, no matter what form it takes or who is affected by it. But I think the burden of prejudice is particularly difficult for kids, because they are at such a vulnerable time in life, a time when any sense of being different can be devastating. For gay youth, the burdens of prejudice and discrimination are especially hard to bear. Too many tragedies have resulted. Gay and lesbian youth suicide, school drop-out, loss of self-esteem: all have been painful outcomes for youth who have had to endure discrimination based on sexual orientation.
I hope we at MCAD can work together with the students of Massachusetts to change these patterns of injustice and put an end to these tragedies once and for all. Every young person, gay or straight, deserves the same respect, the same right to attend school in a safe and supportive climate, the same access to the American dream. As Americans who are committed to freedom and justice, we must continually commit ourselves to living up to our ideals. The Gay Student Rights Law gives us just that opportunity--the chance to show the nation that Massachusetts will be the first state to abolish second class status for gay youth in our public schools.
Governor Weld has demonstrated bold leadership in fighting discrimination against gay teenagers. As the person charged with educating the public and preventing discrimination, I am eager to carry the Governor's commitment to justice for gay youth into all our schools, in all parts of our state.

The Gay and Lesbian Student Rights Law guarantees the right of gay and lesbian students to participate fully and equally in all school activities and to have the full advantages of a public school education. An important right that is now protected by law is the right to form gay, lesbian, and heterosexual support groups called gay/straight alliances.
What are Gay/Straight Alliances?
An ever increasing number of Gay/Straight Alliances are forming in schools throughout Massachusetts. These school-based support groups are designed to meet the needs of students who are interested in addressing issues related to sexual orientation and homophobia. The groups provide a safe and informal place where students can:
The Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth held a series of public forums to gather testimony from gay and lesbian youth in Massachusetts. They found that gay and lesbian students feel extremely isolated in school and many are subjected to a wide range of verbal and physical abuse in the classrooms, on the playing fields, and in the hallways. This abuse can be delivered in many forms -- from derogatory slurs and name-calling to violent beatings. With no one to talk to and with pervasive abuse, gay and lesbian students find that school becomes not a place of self-actualization, but a place where they learn to hate themselves.
In 1989, the US Department of Health and Human Services found that 30% of all youth suicides are committed by gay and lesbian youth. Based on these facts, the Massachusetts Board of Education passed four recommendations on the Support and Safety of Gay and Lesbian Youth. The third recommendation encourages schools to "offer school-based support groups for gay, lesbian, and heterosexual students."
How Can I Start a Gay/Straight Alliance in My School?
Start a Gay/Straight Alliance just like you would start any other club. In some schools this means filing a petition with the school legislature: other schools require the permission of the principal or headmaster. Check your student handbook to see what your school policy is regarding the formation of clubs and follow those guidelines.
What if the school administration is not supportive?
There are a growing number of support groups forming in schools across the state. In some cases, the school administration is very supportive; in other cases they are less so, but what remains constant in every school is the necessity of addressing the issues facing gay and lesbian youth and the impact of homophobia on the entire school community. If the administration and/or faculty seem unsupportive, do the following:
by Doug Neuman
Rhode Island and Massachusetts are neighbors whose commonalties extend far beyond their borders. Rhode Island has come a long way since the 1980 court decision allowing a Cumberland High School student to take his male date to the senior prom, though it certainly has a long way to go.
This essay traces the growth of one school that was enshrouded in a "code of silence" regarding issues of gay youth and now not only has a strong alliance of students and faculty, but has helped to form a multi-school coalition of gay-straight alliances.
In The Beginning
In the spring of 1992, a group of students and faculty from a Boston area gay-straight alliance came to an independent school in Providence to give an evening presentation about homophobia. The panel members discussed their individual experiences and how the school community had responded to openly gay and lesbian students and faculty. Many of the 50 students and faculty who attended described the evening as an eye-opening experience, as it was the first time some of them had ever met a gay or lesbian person or heard any open discussion of homosexuality or homophobia.
Later that spring under the leadership of several students, the school formed its own Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA). The purpose of the student-faculty group was to continue discussions of homophobia. In its first year, the group met several times each month, held a joint meeting with another local independent school, and sponsored several educational films about being gay or lesbian in high school.
Students Coming Out
GSA meetings are designed to be inviting and non-threatening so that no one is pressured to make statements about his/her sexual orientation. In the fall of 1993, however, two students came out at a GSA meeting: one as gay and one as bisexual. Two days later, the gay student's locker was spray-painted with the word FAG. The next morning, the principal discussed the act of vandalism with the entire student body; he declared it an affront not only to the student, but to the whole community. The senior then responded directly to his peers; he read a short poem, described what had been written on his locker, and then came out to the school. The standing ovation he received from the nearly 300 people was a clear indication that most students respected and admired his courage and integrity.
His coming out was indescribably moving, yet more importantly, it was a defining moment for the school. Students were shocked that such an indignity could happen at their school. Not until then did most students and faculty recognize the pain and suffering that students can experience as a result of their sexual orientation.
Faculty and Administration
In November of the same year, a faculty meeting was called to discuss the school's response to gay and lesbian students; by the close of that meeting, two faculty/staff had come out. The administration was understanding and supportive of the need for role models and for appropriate discussion and education about homophobia. Several faculty members were invited to meet with the Board of Trustees, and in early January, the entire faculty devoted a full in-service day to race, gender, and sexual orientation.
By no means has this school achieved an atmosphere of complete respect for differences. Over the past several years, though, this school has experienced some much needed and valuable growth: yet it has also experienced the expected growing pains that accompany any change. There are still faculty who feel that sexual orientation should not be discussed at school, and there are certainly those who feel that homosexuality is "wrong." Yet what has been most helpful in changing the attitudes and policies at school is that discussions have remained student centered with a focus on supporting students and ensuring that all students are physically and emotionally safe. In addition, the chief advocates for change have been both gay and straight.
Four Schools Working Together
Meanwhile, several Providence area schools were starting similar Gay Straight Alliance groups. At the suggestion of a student, the student and faculty leaders of all the GSA groups met and formed a "four-school coalition." The primary goal of the coalition is to work together on shared concerns and ideas surrounding gays and lesbians in independent schools. In addition to marching in the RI Pride March, the coalition members sent a letter to the head of each school. The letter asked for support in ensuring that homophobia continue to be addressed. Specifically, the letter made several requests:
And Finally
In looking back over the past several years, I am overwhelmed at the courage and strength of the students. Students began the gay-straight alliances, students formed the four-school coalition, and students will undoubtedly be instruments in future changes in the schools and in the state.
Massachusetts has taught us an important lesson: student leadership and involvement can truly affect change. The recent growth of the alliances and the coalition in Providence are proof that Rhode Island has strong leaders and that when students collaborate with other students, the possibilities are endless.
