On Thursday, December 18th, 2014, the Gay Straight Alliance at Science Leadership Academy held a mixer where other Gay Straight Alliance clubs came to SLA and had a social gathering. As a member of the club I suggested that we do this because I like meeting other people who are similar to me. Due to the student die-in, which also occurred on the same day, we didn’t have as big of a turn out as we would have. However, three people from Bodine High School did attend along with the members of our club and a few other students who are allies. During this time we ate snacks and advertised for our LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Valentine’s Day dance on February 6th, 2015. We also played a game stating what candy we would be and why, which helped us get to know each other’s personalities even though we had just met. Even though most of the students did not attend, the meeting went well and everyone enjoyed their time. We look forward to doing more activities with other Gay Straight Alliances around Philadelphia.
