Thoughts Others Had On What Schools Could Do
“I cannot remember ever hearing the word gay mentioned in my school by faculty.”
“It is sad when you have to come to college to have your first open discussion about homosexuality.”
“In retrospect, I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it was for the students that were gay or lesbian in my high school. I went to a school where the term homosexuality was only mentioned as speculation among the students.”
“I wish teachers had taught more about gay authors, artists, scientists, etc. Then we would have realized that there were people in the gay community who are doing great things for our society.”
“I didn’t even know that there were students that were gay in my high school.”
“I wish that I had exposure to gay issues. I think if schools were more open, than we would not have the amount of prejudice we have today.”
“I think schools need to have trusted individuals that students can talk to about their sexual identities.”
“Schools need to be more accepting of all individuals and differences, even those in the gay community.”
