Personal life question

[ebonymusic]

     Today, a girl at my school-- we'll call her A.-- announced that she'd be starting a GSA. She also announced when the first meeting would be. While it also deals with sexism, racism etc. it's primarily a GSA, judging from the posters put up around the school that feature a picture of a rainbow with text on top that says "Are you gay? Lesbian? Transgender? Bisexual? Questioning? Queer? Straight supporter or just curious?..."

I know you guys are all thinking now "Wow! That's great. She's so cool and tolerant!" Well, I have nothing against A. and I think it's sweet of her to do this, but I have a few problems with it. Firstly, I'm pretty sure she's straight and what makes me even more sure that she's straight is her complete misunderstanding of the way an LGB teenager's mind works. There are LGB students at the school (other than me, I mean) and I'm assuming there are others I don't know who haven't told me. The fact is, my lesbian friend and I are both out-- to a small group of close friends. If we wanted to publicly announce our homosexuality to the whole school, we would have. You don't have to be LGBTQ to join the group but it's a small school and I don't think A. is expecting a lot of students to show up (I know most of the kids and they don't seem like the type to care, not that they're homophobic.)

A. happens to have social/anxiety problems and I'm worried that she'll be upset if nobody shows up to her club. I also don't want her to think that if nobody shows up, it means that there must not be any LGBTQ students. I saw a boy in my class eyeing one of her posters in the hallway; he's not malicious or homophobic, but he said, with all the lovely wisdom of a straight, cisgender male, "I don't think there are any gay kids in our school." I sort of giggled because he must be unaware that ONE IN TEN HUMAN BEINGS identify as LGBTQ and there are well over nine kids in the school. But-- surprise surprise!-- we don't all feel comfortable coming out to all of our peers while we're teenagers who may still be inwardly conflicted.

What should I do in this situation? What would you do if it were you?
