I might be about to get the ACLU to go after my school

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

My school barely avoided this situation.  It's now the 3rd or 4th largest club in my mainly conservative high school. lol.

Conservative high school is almost an oxymoron. My suburban high school voted 60-65% for Obama(can't remember) in Richland, WA, which probably votedat least 60% Republican.

By conservative I mean at least 40% republican. Almost 55% of our student government here are conservatives.

My high school is FAR from the average HS  btw.

Well what I mean is that probably over 90% of high schools in US voted for the democratic candidate, considering that I lived in one of the most conservative areas in Washington that's like R+20, and the school body still voted democratic.

I understand a club for gay students but what exactly is a "Gay-Straight Alliance"?

A club that both gays and straights join, I guess to show that they get along.  Colleges probably like that.

What do they... y'know... do, though?

Mostly talk about "gay issues," like coming out and discrimination and whatnot. My college's gay straight alliance ran a anonymous hotline for at-risk gay youth to call. Others plan "gay proms" and similar things.

Basically, it's just a collection of gay folks (and their allies) who work to make sure that at least someone, even if it's a dorky club, is acting in the gays' best interest.

Pretty much. They actually do really good, often actually pretty unobjectionable work, and a lot of them are self-aware as to the absurdity of the name.

So you are saying kids are more likely to take on their parents views in the South?

From my experience growing up in Oklahoma I can say this isn't as true as one would think.
Especially on gay issues.  ESPECIALLY.

My school should get one so I can join it for kicks. Seeing those people work their hearts out for such issues would make some amusing stories.
