This article explores sexual minority youth empowerment by examining the experiences of Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club members, advisors, and school administrators from four public high schools in the southeastern United States. Twelve GSA members, four GSA advisors, two high school principals, and two district administrators consented to be part of this study. Drawing on current research into heteronormativity and social stigma, the author applies Zimmerman’s three levels of empowerment—psychological, organizational, and community—to examine the ways in which GSA members are empowered (or not empowered) to challenge the heteronormative culture upon which their stigmatized sexual identity and the need for GSAs is based. The voices featured here suggest that GSAs successfully empower their members on a psychological level to “speak out” against antigay sentiments and behaviors but are limited by the fear of parental and community resistance in their ability to develop into fully empowered organizations or to strategically build substantive coalitions with community organizations beyond the school setting. Consequently, GSA’s efforts to engage in activist projects aimed at disrupting the heteronormative practices underlying lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender stigmatized sexual identities are constricted. The author considers the implications of these findings and concludes with questions for future research.
