This landmark book empowers educators to become visible, positive
influences and role models for gay and lesbian students in their
classrooms and schools. As most homosexual educators, and even
students, remain invisible due to possible hostilities of "coming
out," this eye-opening book presents recent research to help gay
and lesbian teachers break their silence. It encourages them to
speak out on issues of homosexuality where curricula, civil rights,
personal freedoms, and social entitlements are concerned. It
promotes the development of school-based intervention for gay,
lesbian, and bisexual students.While the controversy over education
and homosexuality is one of the most personally threatening in this
nation's history, the timely research presented in Coming Out of
the Classroom Closet will hearten gay and lesbian educators to
continue to strive for fair treatment as peers and for equal
representation in educational materials. Pointing to reports of
greater social support and legal protection than is assumed by most
in the educational system, this book should be required reading for
all persons concerned about continuing to provide high-quality
education at all levels--college and university, secondary, and
even elementary.Chapters of Coming Out of the Classroom Closet look
closely at many issues surrounding the issue of homosexuality in
schools, including a history of treatment of gay and lesbian
educators and their legal rights; effects of internalized
homophobia on homosexual educators; gay and lesbian student's
perceptions of their counselors and teachers ability to understand
and help; beliefs, lack of knowledge, and lack of training of
counselors and teachers about the needs of gay and lesbian youth;
images of gays and lesbians in sexuality and health textbooks;
important AIDS education; and the issue of homophobia.
