Yesterday, GLSEN released the first comprehensive report on the experiences of LGBTQ families in education. Their findings are not encouraging. Despite LGBTQ parents, on average, being more active in schools and in more regular communication with school administors and teachers than hetero counterparts, kids are still being given a hard time. Not surprisingly in schools where anti-harassment and bullying initiatives are in place both parents and children reported more positive experiences.
A few statistics:
Nearly a quarter of students feel unsafe around other students due to others’ negative attitudes toward people with LGBT parents.
42 percent of students said they have been verbally harassed at school in the past year because their parents are LGBT.
Nearly a quarter of students said that a teacher, principal or other school staff person had discouraged them from talking about their family at school.
Unacceptable.
