April at Lincoln-Sudbury was “GSA” month, filled with events, displays, and activities all sponsored by the Gay-Straight Alliance. The club dedicated the month to educating students about gay issues.
Every week, the club had a different event.  The first week, one club member wrote a blurb about her experience with a friend who is gay, which was displayed on bulliten boards throughout the school. On Wednesday of that week, the club hosted a showing of Will and Grace episodes and afterwards discussed the impact of media on people’s perceptions of the gay community.
