Gay Straight Alliance Releases Inaugural Newsletter

The Harker Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) released the inaugural edition of its newsletter in early April. “The Rainbow Connection” contains a variety of interviews, personal submissions and articles related to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community. The newsletter features members of the Harker community including current students, alumni, a faculty member and a parent, and is available in print and online.

In his inaugural letter for the newsletter, Abel Olivas, GSA adviser and upper school Spanish teacher, said the newsletter is “an extension of the GSA’s objectives:  to give a voice to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered members of our community and their families and allies.” Olivas said one of the newsletter’s goals is to provide support for LGBT folks, “facilitate their creating a space for themselves as LGBT people at our school and to promote understanding and respect for all of Harker’s diversity.”
