The Queer Straight Alliance, formerly called the LGBT Club, is an active club within Degrassi Community School that tries to spread tolerance and awareness for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. They are quick to protest homophobic acts within the school, and offer sensitivity training for homophobia. They have hosted mixers at Above the Dot, and also host their own booth during fairs.
