School Experiences of Gay and Lesbian Youth: The Invisible Minority
shows teachers, youth advocates, administrators, and academic
researchers how to embrace the needs of sexual minority students.
Through research and case studies, this book explains the ways in
which schools are failing the vulnerable population of gay,
lesbian, and bisexual youths. This text shows you how to take
responsibility for recognizing and protecting the rights and needs
of gays and lesbians and ridding schools of discrimination,
harassment, and violence.As School Experiences of Gay and Lesbian
Youth illustrates, the consequences of the cognitive, social, and
emotional isolation that sexual minority youths experience as a
result of homophobia and heterosexism can be devastating. With this
book's helpful suggestions, provocative insight, and open
challenges, you can help gay and lesbian youths develop feelings of
self-worth as well as positive aspirations for their futures.
Experiences of Gay and Lesbian Youth will help social workers,
psychologists, academics, counselors, and other professionals
understand: the dearth of role models in the career development of
lesbian and gay youths how to integrate sexual orientation into
career counseling how to incorporate the topic of homosexuality
into educational curricula forms of homophobia (from the victim's
and the agressor's points of view) and heterosexism in the high
school environment how to open discussions about gay and lesbian
issues at school the importance of having visible lesbian, gay, and
bisexual staff who can provide support for sexual minority
youthSchool Experiences of Gay and Lesbian Youth also informs you
on the experiences gay and lesbian adults who attended high school
five to fifty years ago, as well as college students who have
reported incidents of homophobic behavior in high school. In
addition, this text discusses teachers'fears of being fired as a
result of talking about sexual minority issues and how school
environments can lead students to become drop outs. Experiences of
Gay and Lesbian Youth will inform you on the issues facing gay and
lesbian youth and provide you with suggestions on how to make the
classroom a welcoming environment, regardless of sexual
orientation.
