The cultural and social issues club will be joining the sexual and gender acceptance club in a special meeting Thursday during advisory in room C217. The CSI club discusses and debates hot button topics from different perspectives.

“It’s discussion-based,” senior president of CSI Zaki Sayyid said. “We come in every week, we have a topic, and then we have questions about that topic that we pose and drive an open-group discussion.”

The SAGA club provides an accepting environment along with a place to talk and meet others within the LGBT community at Liberty.

“We’re just a place for people to help come to terms with who they are, find other people like-minded and people who are apart of the community,” sophomore SAGA officer Maddie Aronson said, “so you don’t feel isolated in a big school where you might feel like you don’t have anybody to relate to, so it’s just a place for people to be able to come together.

The meeting will be discussing transgender minors and stigmas surrounding them in schools.

“For the joint meeting, we’re going to be discussing transgender issues, especially focusing on kids in schools and help relate to educational processes, some of the stigmas around kids in the community, and around gender identity in education systems,” Aronson said. “We wanted to meet with CSI to help expand our word a little bit and talk to some new people.”
