Just a decade ago, requests by students to establish groups to
support gay and lesbian students were rare and generally met with
shock and confusion by school administrators and local communities.
Today there are more than 1600 gay straight alliances (GSAs) across
the country." Standing Out, Standing Together "documents the
emergence of gay straight alliances in public schools across
America - from factors that have contributed to the relatively
rapid spread of GSA to those that stirred controversy and posed
roadblocks. Using over 10 years of interviews with students,
teachers, administrators and political activists; case studies; and
local and national media reports, Miceli explores the personal and
political stakes involved in the battles over GSAs. Although the
book acknowledges and documents the harassment, abuse and problems
suffered by many gay, lesbian, transgendered, and bisexual
students, its primary focus is on these students as political
activists, rather than as passive victims, making it a unique
contribution to sociologists, educators, political activists and
LGBTreaders alike.
