I can’t say that it’d
be an easy thing to imagine my life without BAGLY. It’s become part of
my life and I can’t let go of it. Through this organization I have
learned a lot and it has changed my life on many different levels. I
never would of ever thought of starting a GSA on my own at school if I
hadn’t been a part of BAGLY. BAGLY does so much for me. Every year
there are events to go to with friends or to go to and make friends,
the office is always open when I need it, the staff is supportive, and
every week there are meetings to talk about issues that are important
to me. There is so much BAGLY offers and people don’t realize how
important BAGLY is to our community. It’s a safe place to be on
Wednesday nights or on a weekday if you’re just dropping by the office
after school. Through BAGLY you learn important things like how to be
politically active and the important issues people ignore but are
important to the GLBTQ community. Without BAGLY I don’t think it
would have been as easy for me to come to terms with my sexual identity
and to want to understand other peoples identity like trans or gender
queer. Life just seems so much clearer because I understand so much
more about people from meeting people of all races, gender,
sexualities, etc… I never would of made the friends I have now if
it hadn’t been for BAGLY and I definitely wouldn’t be out and proud.
BAGLY has definitely been life changing.
