GLSEN was founded by a group of teachers in 1990, and conducts original research development appropriate resources for educators to use throughout their school community.

“We advise on, advocate for, and research comprehensive policies designed to protect LGBTQ students as well as students of marginalized identities. We’ve brought record support to the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act and fought discriminatory legislation in over 15 states,” according to the organization’s website.
