LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) advocates are readying to empower students against anti-LGBT acts during a one-year-old youth-led effort called "Ally Week" in October. In response, Exodus youths from across the states are launching a new campaign with the same purpose but coming from a Christian stance.
Ally Week is promoted by Gay-Straight Alliance clubs in high schools nationwide for the purpose of a safer school environment. The national week was launched last year to create allies to put an end to anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. Exodus Youth, however, announced the new "Allies, Too" movement to support the same effort of safer schools but for Christian students.
Exodus Youth is a division of the major ex-gay group Exodus International.
The "Allies, Too" campaign gives Christians whose beliefs often conflict with the policies of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network the opportunity to support a safer school environment without compromising their beliefs.
"Still, the fact that our beliefs are different doesn't mean we can't work together for safer schools for everyone," said a statement by Exodus Youth. "So, Exodus Youth is creating the 'Allies, Too' campaign, in which Christian students can voice their support for safer schools without compromising their faith in God's Word! "
