Introduction

Welcome to CCHS Spectrum, the new blog of CC's gay-straight alliance. A few quick things:
CCHS stands for Concord-Carlisle High School. Concord and Carlisle are suburbs of Boston, and people in our school come from those two towns as well as Boston.
Our school has had a gay-straight alliance for some time now, and while the members and advisers change, the overall purpose has not. Spectrum is always a safe place and a judgment-free zone, so long as you do not hurt or violate the trust of anyone in the group. We plan events such as panels and dances, talk about personal, national and global problems, and find the strangest tangents to pursue. Spectrum is online for the first time, so stay tuned for updates, information, and little tidbits you don't want to miss.
