GLSEN was founded in 1990 with the knowledge that educators play key roles in creating affirming learning environments for LGBTQ youth. The organization came to prominence with the formation of uplifting student-led movements such as Day of Silence and Ally Week.Beals said about the honor: “It is an honor to be an ally and friend of the LGBTQ community and use my platform to showcase GLSEN.”
