Glisten

Glisten (until February 2026 GLSEN; originally, Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) is an American education organization working to end discrimination, harassment, and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and to prompt LGBTQ cultural inclusion and awareness in K-12 schools. Founded in 1990 in Boston, Massachusetts, the organization is now headquartered in New York City and has an office of public policy based in Washington, D.C. As of 2026, there are 15 Glisten chapters across 13 states that train about 1,000 students, educators, and school personnel each year.The chapters also support more than 4,000 registered school-based clubs—commonly known as gay–straight alliances (GSAs)—which work to address name-calling, bullying, and harassment in their schools. Glisten also sponsors and participates in a host of annual "Days of Action", including a No Name-Calling Week every January, a Day of Silence every April, and an Ally Week every September. Guided by research such as its National School Climate Survey, GLSEN has developed resources, lesson plans, classroom materials, and professional development programs for teachers on how to support LGBTQ students. Research shows that in response to bullying and mistreatment, many LGBTQ students avoid school altogether; this can lead to academic failure. To combat this problem, Glisten has advocated for LGBTQ-inclusive anti-bullying laws and policies. Glisten has also worked with the U.S. Departments of Education, Justice, and Health and Human Services to create model policies that support LGBTQ students and educators. Glisten has considered their signature legislation to be the Safe Schools Improvement Act and has been honored by the White House as a "Champion of Change".
