MassResistance Special 10-part Report:

Why LGBT “GSA Clubs” must be banned from all public schools.

Part 5: Connecting students to dangerous groups and individuals

School GSA clubs bring vulnerable schoolchildren into contact with degenerate LGBT adults. Negative impacts can last a lifetime.

January 20, 2026

Across the country, adult LGBT groups collaborate with school GSA clubs to lure students to their unsupervised events, with activist adults. Note the "youth" age range on the poster: 13-24.

Some of the most passionate phone calls we’ve gotten over the years have been from parents whose children have been molested – physically or psychologically – by homosexual adults to whom the children were led by their school without the parents’ knowledge. Several of those parents became MassResistance activists to help protect others.

This MassResistance mother from Cape Cod testified in 2016 before the Massachusetts Legislature, detailing how her son’s high school steered him to an outside LGBT group without her knowledge. Homosexual adults there persuaded him that he was really “gay.” He continues to lead a homosexual lifestyle. She will be telling her full story in our next MassResistance article.

As we’ve outlined earlier, school GSA clubs recruit and attract students who are confused, “questioning,” have underlying emotional or mental health challenges, are on the autism spectrum, or otherwise “don’t fit in.” These vulnerable students are then encouraged to join the LGBT “community.”

School GSA clubs (“Gay Straight Alliance” or “Genders and Sexualities Alliance”) are a prime way that students are led to outside LGBT individuals and groups. GSA clubs are strategically organized to connect with adult LGBT activists and resources.

Here are five categories of LGBT groups and individuals that GSA clubs connect students to:

1. Local LGBT groups run by adults that target youth.

Across the country are hundreds of local adult-run “LGBTQ support groups” that work to attract children in the community – largely from the GSA clubs in the local public schools.  Some of these groups primarily focus on “youth.” Other groups are ostensibly for adults but have well-organized programs to bring in children. These groups advertise their services as free and “confidential” (i.e., without parents’ knowledge) where the kids can “be who they really are.” They include kids as young as 12.

This is what we're seeing across the country: An adult-led LGBT "pride youth group" for kids in grades 7-12 that's "confidential" and is a "safe and welcoming space to express yourself." The results are a parent's nightmare.

They are not just in big cities, but also in small towns throughout America – even in “red” states. In many locales, the school officials openly cooperate with these groups. In some places the local school system even helps fund them!

When kids get involved with these adult homosexual and transgender activists, it’s dangerous because there is no accountability. Thus, parents in several states have appealed to MassResistance for ways to get these “support group” centers closed down.

In a few states this has been going on for decades. For example, in Massachusetts BAGLY (Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth) has been active since the 1990s. It is run by a man who dresses as a woman and fully supports transgender behaviors among kids. Its meetings and events are open to “youth ages 22 and under,” and its drop-in space includes people “25 and under.” It helps high school students start GSAs and provides speakers for club or school events.

The founder and leader of BAGLY is a man who dresses as a woman.

BAGLY is one of 15 such regional groups in Massachusetts. This 2014 MassResistance report shows how these groups were targeting children even back then!

Similarly, New Hampshire has a new statewide network working with GSAs run by adult activists.

Here are some examples of how BAGLY connects youth and dangerous adults: BAGLY has co-sponsored degenerate dance events, has heavily promoted transgenderism at their youth events, and collaborated with an organization that promote transgender prostitution.

Occasionally, the terrible stories of what happens to kids in these groups get exposed. In 2007, the Christian Civic League of Maine uncovered information (which MassResistance reported) that adults running a local LGBT “youth” group in Maine were having homosexual sex with boys as young as 14. Drugs, alcohol, and suicide threats were involved.

To make matters worse, in some states such as Massachusetts, the government itself supports the connecting of outside groups to schoolchildren. For example, BAGLY has an entrée into schools across the state as a member of the Massachusetts LGBTQ Youth Commission, which has influence in the state government. In 2024, this depraved commission called for legalizing teenage prostitution and lowering the age of sexual consent.

Originally it was named the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth." Here some of the homosexual "commissioners" applaud at a youth pride march. (The one at far right was later arrested for soliciting sex from college boys.)

2. LGBT teachers and other adult activists in the schools

Hardcore LGBT activists who work in the schools often become the advisors of the GSA clubs.

Note the recent arrest of Scott McGinley, a middle school librarian and GSA coordinator in Longmeadow, Massachusetts.

McGinley was arrested for child porn distribution. This is confirmed in an FBI report.

According to reports, a few years earlier middle school students had found McGinley’s account on the notorious LGBT dating app Grindr. A parent said a student who was circulating the information was punished – but McGinley was not.

This case illustrates the result of nondiscrimination laws and policies allowing LGBT adults to join school staff.

As we noted previously, Kevin Jennings started his GLSEN activism while a history teacher at Concord Academy in Massachusetts, creating one of the first GSAs there. He bragged about taking his GSA members to the 1993 national march on Washington, DC for “gay and lesbian rights.” Other Massachusetts GSAs at that march were from Phillips Academy and Brookline High School. (Recall that the 1993 Gay Rights platform  pushed the notion of “youth” rights, including loosening the sexual age-of-consent laws.)

3. LGBT youth “conferences” and “summits”

Earlier in this series we described the annual GLSEN conferences (beginning in 2000 with ‘Fistgate”) and showed examples of some of their LGBT-oriented workshops.

The LGBT movement’s obsession with including schoolchildren at their adult events has lessened with public exposure by groups including MassResistance. But GSAs routinely use materials provided online by the activist organizations.

National and local LGBT groups now put on conferences, summits, and workshops tailored for schoolchildren which include a range of bizarre and depraved sexual topics. These events recruit kids through GSA clubs in schools. (Pro-LGBT teachers and adult “allies” may also be included.)

Here are some examples of recruitment posters:

This "Trans Youth Summit" poster from 2016 probably revealed too much, and since then the LGBT acivists have kept the advertising more generic, as you can see below.

4. Adult Gay Pride Parades

As noted above, Kevin Jennings took his high school students from the GSA he had started at Concord Academy to the 1993 gay rights march on Washington. It was the first major national event to push “bisexuality” and “transgender rights” alongside “gay and lesbian rights.” The vulgarity was rife then as now.

School GSA clubs are now recruited to march in the adult “gay pride” parades in their cities and towns. This brings them in contact with a wide range of depraved and dangerous people. It also has the psychological effect of making the youths feel comfortable around those dysfunctional people.

Just two of MANY: High school GSA clubs (above and below) marching in the adult Boston Gay Pride parades.

BAGLY's contingent in this Boston adult gay pride parade has the aggressive slogan: "Queer. Youth. Movement."

5. Government sanctioned “youth pride” events

A recent trend across the country has been for the local LGBT support groups to state “pride” events in public parks, that are designed to attract young people. Most of these are sanctioned and applauded by the local governments, though not necessarily funded by them. They are often scheduled just when school is ending, so the local GSA clubs often participate.

In recent years MassResistance activists in several states have aggressively protested – and often successfully derailed – these horrendous events.

Over a hundred local Idaho MassResistance people boldly confronted the LGBT invasion of their town.

In some big cities such as Boston, the state or local governments sponsor and aggressively promote specific “youth pride” events.

The first Massachusetts Youth Pride event in 1995 was openly advertised as a joint adult/youth event: “Gay and Straight Adults Marching in Support of Youth” read the poster. The activists later apparently realized that label was not good for public relations. So in the following years they portrayed it as simply a “youth” event.

In Boston, these celebrations are held in the spring when school is still in session. The attendees are predominately GSA club members from schools across the state, invited by the event’s adult LGBT organizers.

When well-funded LGBT activists have the green light to put together annual “youth pride” events for kids using public facilities – without parents present – the results can be ghastly.

MassResistance has reported on and exposed many of the Boston “Youth Pride” events over the years. We’ve already covered the horribly obscene materials that kids have received at these events. But the interactions kids have with dangerous and perverted people are also extremely disturbing.

GSA groups from across the state come to the event in Boston each May to rally, parade with their banners, hear speakers, watch drag entertainers, pick up condoms and lube, get how-to sex pamphlets, and join the BAGLY prom at the end of the day (usually in Boston City Hall). From all this, it’s hard to deny that the GSAs are, at their core, about sex.

At these events, adult activists mingled with students and distributed materials about risky LGBTQ+ sex practices or gender transitioning. Even prostitution was a topic.

Here is a sample of what schoolchildren from across the state have encountered at those Boston events:

Bizarre transgender adults have been a staple at every Youth Pride event that we've seen.

Scenes like this were unfortunately not surprising at the Youth Pride events we saw.

This is what happens to boys when transgender activists get to them.

Kids from across the state wait to get into the "gay prom" (held inside Boston City Hall) at a Massachusetts Youth Pride.

In 2009, "Mr. Boston Leather," who promoted BDSM, greeted kids with his "business card" as they entered the "gay prom" at the Youth Pride event. A few years later he died of AIDS.

Final thoughts

By the time parents find out the people and groups the GSA clubs have been leading their children to, it’s almost always too late.

The LGBT movement’s obsession with children – and the willing cooperation in this from school officials and other government officials – is a dangerous combination. It must become a top priority that this be completely stopped, and those involved be held accountable.
