October is LGBT Month

Written by Simoneel Czar

October is a month usually known for celebrating Halloween and trick-or-treating, but what people might not know is that October is also LGBT month. It celebrates lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. And this year the Gay-Straight Alliance Club at Washington wants to bring LGBT month to everyone’s attention. They will make mural-like posters of great people in history who were LGBT or LGBT supporters

English and social justice teacher Stewart Perlman hopes the posters and flyers will stir awareness of LGBT month and that more students will show up for club meetings held every Wednesday in room E222.
Perlman, along with French teacher Jennifer Pardini, special educator Carl Bullard and Spanish teacher Julianna Danner-Vera attend these meetings and support GSA.
“It’s the four of us who basically run things at GSA,” Perlman said.
GSA welcomes everyone to the club.
