Yeah, but--speaking as a GSA president met with a whole fuckton of hate--it could be that society is shifting BECAUSE people are comfortable enough in their views to form and join these kinds of clubs.

And truthfully, there's still a lot of issues that the GLBT community faces. I was declined the right to even apply at my camp because they found out I was gay, my friend got threatening notes in the mail as she was coming out, I've known people held down and slashed up for what they are. It IS still an issue.

I'm not saying that the GSA at your school is very good--on the contrary, they sound pretty crappy--but that's not the case with all of them. Women wouldn't have rights if not for the Suffrage, the groups they joined, the protests they made. Maybe GSAs will be a little redundant when we have equal rights, but for now, it's a place to be heard and accepted when you wouldn't normally.
