Norfolk Senior High students formed a GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) student club.

They only wanted to be treated the same as other clubs by being allowed to: meet at school during the ‘club hour,’ use the photocopier, advertise their meetings in print and PA announcements, and have speakers. The school administration and school board formally denied their request even though other non-curriculum clubs (including two religious clubs, and Kiwanis club, and an anti-racism club) have these privileges. When the ACLU staff attorney wrote a letter to the school in 2002, the school backed down—the GSA will now be treated in the same manner as all other student clubs. The GSA continues to thrive and educate Norfolk High students about anti-gay bias.  In 2003, the GSA got a public access television show, and has continued to bring speakers and hold events up through current time.
