'A supportive and inclusive community': GSA urges action in celebration of LGBT History Month

Ransom Everglades celebrated LGBT History Month with a spirited history bee at an upper school assembly on Oct. 31 that followed a presentation by student leaders of the Gender and Sexuality Association. President Jamora Arroyo-Jefferson '24 and vice president Bea Lindemann '25 urged students to create an inclusive environment at Ransom Everglades and while sharing challenges historically faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community. They stressed that inclusivity is an active practice.
"The RE Way is all about creating a supportive and inclusive community," Arroyo-Jefferson said. "This means applying the principles of this presentation in a meaningful way in your every day life. Think about how you can do this. How can you be kinder, more accepting and more understanding? This is different for everyone and achievable in many different ways."

At the conclusion of the presentation, a panel of upper school students participated in a history bee with questions about events and milestones relevant to inclusion and LGBTQ+ history.
