Welcome to COA's Gay-Straight Alliance Homepage!

The purpose of a Gay-Straight Alliance is

to provide a safe place for LGBT, Straight, and Questioning students and staff of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations/gender identities and creeds
to meet, support each other, talk about issues related to sexual orientation

to foster diversity and work to end homophobia and prejudice against LGBT people.

This group is open to all COA students

	The COA-GSA hopes
	to become a community-creating support system to help assist COA students, faculty, and staff in acquiring essential life skills as a LGBT person, and to have access to information about local resources for LGBT people. The COA-GSA intends to emphasize, support, and nurture unique qualities, gifts, and issues expressed by the multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, muti-racial diversity of the LGBT community.
