Article Proposal
(Note: I tried to post this but I forgot to save it.)

Homosocialization

This page is the definition of the word. I want to add sections about youth inclusion, age mixing, and other communities.

GSA
Gay-Straight alliances’ (GSA’s) started to appear in the 80’s. They were a way for the youth of the community to overcome seclusion and stigma in the school environments. Currently registered under the parent network, GLSEN, there are over 3,000 clubs in the states.

The climate of a school has a direct relation to the health of the student’s physically and mentally. A survey of students revealed that 57 % of people heard remarks; 60% felt unsafe; 31% have missed at least 1 day of school in the past month.

Queer study/ Gender study
Queer research in post-secondary education is a contradiction. Colleges and universities are the source of queer theory yet, they remain untouched by the queer agenda. Higher education is a strong system of organizations that house LGBT/queer people. (3) Not having the research discredits the life of students. An institution is unable to make sure they   are keeping up-to-date on issues. With continued research institutes can contribute to the bettering of life and success of their students.

The least three decades has seen an increase in queer centers on college campuses. These centers are used to help students develop their identities on and off campus. The overall goal of these types of spaces is for the community that is on campus to help the rest of campus become more excepting and informed. The professionals that also work in these buildings work to improve campus life.
