Ninety-one percent of LGBTQ teens report at least one experience of bias-based bullying, according to the study.

GSAs are student-run clubs that traditionally served as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in middle and high schools, but they've also emerged as vehicles for social change related to racial, gender and educational justice. But Joe Kosciw, director of the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network Research Institute, told USA TODAY that"the presence of a GSA raises awareness of LGBTQ issues, as well as demonstrates to LGBTQ students that they have allies in their schools, thereby contributing to a more respectful student body."found only 38% of high schools nationwide had an active GSA, the absence of which can lead to increased bullying and increased stress among LGBTQ students.
