Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network

Posted on 13 Mar 2017

jabari-lylesJabari Lyles, Director, GLSEN Baltimore, spoke on March 5, 2017 at the Baltimore Ethical Society about “Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.”

The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) is the nation’s leading organization devoted to addressing LGBTQ issues in America’s K-12 schools. Established in 1990, GLSEN has over 25 years of experience providing outreach and training to school staff, students and administrators, conducting and disseminating research, and leading the national conversation about creating safe and supportive school environments for all students. Through its research, GLSEN has identified specific interventions for schools to improve school climate and cut down on anti-LGBTQ bias-based remarks and language. GLSEN has roughly 40 chapters across the country. Learn more at their website glsen.org/chapters/baltimore.

Jabari Lyles, Director of GLSEN Baltimore, has been working in education, community organizing and social justice activism for years. He is the former Executive Director and current President of GLCCB, Baltimore’s LGBTQ community center, has worked with FreeState Justice, and has been a public school teacher and speaker in Baltimore City. Jabari has presented on LGBTQ issues at conferences locally, statewide and nationally.

On the second-to-last day of #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the work of Emma Goldman, a political activist who advocated for anarchism, free expression, sexual liberation, birth control, and worker’s rights. An outspoken atheist, Goldman put forth a vision of society that is humanistic in its assertion that human beings themselves have the capacity to make the world a better place. She defined atheism as “the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities.” In boldly speaking out against religion, Goldman affirmed ideals that continue to resonate with humanists today.#Humanism #WHM2021 #WHM ...

Save the date for our next All Society Platform, o Save the date for our next All Society Platform, organized by Youth of Ethical Societies, May 16th at 11:00 EST!

Every year, the teens of Ethical Societies around the country come together to discuss issues relevant to the world around them.  The weekend-long conference is entirely teen-led; they plan the theme, they plan and lead the breakout discussion groups, and they facilitate all activities during the conference. This is an impressive feat in any year — but to have pulled off a successful Youth of Ethical Societies (YES) Conference during a global pandemic is especially remarkable!

For our May 16th All Society Platform, come hear from the teens themselves, how they planned YES, how YES usually operates, and what they did at YES 2021.
