In a press release sent to the Teton Valley News last week, seven Teton High School students have introduced Teton Valley to its first ever gay-straight alliance (GSA).

“A lot of LGBTQ+ have mental health issues and we wanted to create a group where they could get the resources,” said THS senior Kyran Cates this week. “Being gay is not readily accepted,” he added of growing up in a small town such as Teton Valley. “The term, ‘in the closet’ is pretty applicable here. Just finding people who are ready to show the world who they are is difficult.”
