What is the "Just the Facts Coalition"
and how did this document come about?
In November of 1998, a conservative political organization sponsored a conference near Columbus, Ohio with the goal of encouraging the promotion of "reparative therapy" programs in public schools. Staff from the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) attended this event and were disturbed at what they learned. In December of 1998, Kate Frankfurt, GLSEN's Director of Advocacy, shared the content of this initiative and the November conference with a number of national education, health and mental health organizations at a meeting in Washington, D.C. These organizations, recognizing the disturbing implications of this initiative and the potential threat it posed to the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, and bisexual students, began meeting regularly to develop a resource to aid school officials in sorting through the information and misinformation on sexual orientation development and on "reparative therapy."
This publication is the result of the work of the groups who participated in those meetings during the spring and summer of 1999. Among the groups who have participated in this work and have officially endorsed this publication are:
American Academy of Pediatrics
American Counseling Association
American Association of School Administrators
American
Federation of Teachers
American Psychological Association
American School Health Association
Interfaith Alliance Foundation
National Association of School Psychologists
National Association of Social Workers
National Education Association
The printing and distribution of this publication has been supported by the National Education Association, Michael Dively, the American Psychological Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Association of School Psychologists, and the National Association of Social Workers.
