GSA being Gay-Straight Alliance.
This is part rant too- just a warning.

Okay, I've been working since last year to try and get a GSA running at my school, which is a hella lot harder than it seemed to be to start with.
Originally, it seemed fairly simple.
Petition + Advertisement + Meetings=GSA
Yeah not so simple. Lots of "Oh we have to check this" and "PAPERWORK!! Not that we're telling you what this '
aperwork' is."I tried asking on QueerAttitude already, but there wasn't much help there, as people either hadn't really gotten the GSAs running, or they were in a more liberal area. That was last I checked- said info is subject to updates of course.
I was working with one girl with this last year, then she moved, and now I have a few other friends + an advisor I'm working with to try to get this going, which I was hoping to have up by the second quarter of this year, but here we are in the second quarter, and getting no where.
Last I was able to confirm any EXISTENCE of the club was "We have a GSA, but we're not allowed to advertise, or hold meetings."
So... it's like air. It's THERE but you can't SEE it.
It irks me.
So I'm asking if anyone here has advice for me about getting this running. I'm tempted to put up posters against rules, and then ask people to send an e-mail to the club's e-mail(yes I made one) and then print off a list of everyone who said they would be willing to join, and then face the wrath of the office.
Any ideas I could discuss with the advisor, and any ideas for what we could do at meetings would help too. So far, the first meeting is an icebreakerish thing/intro to the club.
And I can't get a space on the announcements I don't think. Because that's advertisement. Which I'm not allowed to do. WHY is my school in a close minded area? It's not entirely close minded/homophobic, but it's enough to cause problems with making progress.
I have no idea how I'm supposed to do this. Not to mention it's impossible to get an appointment to talk to the principal about this. Which, y'know, would help a LOT as to "what I can and can't do."
Sorry for length- advice is much wanted and appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Is it just me or should it not be this hard to get something running about giving people a place to go and talk and be educated about stuff?
I don't think I'm doing the Day of Silence this year... too hard. Ironic win, but hard XD

Maybe I'm crazy but if this is a free country, why aren't we permitted to love who we want to love?
