As a trans teen, I know first hand how frustrating, difficult and tedious it is having to explain who I am to teachers and students alike. Schools need to educate themselves about the meaning of being part of LGBT+, the issues the community face and what to do. It could be something as simple as a couple of posters. Anything would help a great deal. Thank you.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the way this is growing. Seeing the momentum build reminds me that I am not alone in this, and that is entirely because of the people who chose to support this effort.

I, a lesbian teenager, believe that lgbt+ teens shouldn't have to go to the Internet to learn about themselves. Schools should definitely begin to do this. I need it and so do my friends. So yeah
LGBTQ+ students need health education just as much as straight, cisgender students. I can't tell you how many times I've had a conversation with a queer person who didn't know how safe sex worked with two people of the same sex.
This is a great idea. My college has a LGBT+ Initiative to help any students/faculty but it should start earlier than that so more kids and people don't feel so alone and more work is done to stop bullying/discrimination.
Schools really do need to understand and accept LBGT+ students. I think part of the reason it took me until I was 26 to realize what I felt is because of the stigma attached to LGBT+ and bullying in middle school + high school. Maybe I would have realized earlier, and started changing my life for the better instead of living in sadness all of the time.
I have the same problem being agender and pansexual, I have to teach every individual. At first I didn't know the terms for how I felt until one of my best friends helped me figure out the name and come out.
148!! Come on people we can do this!!! GO TEAM!!
This is awesome

I'm a sex-repulsed lesbian greysexual and would love it if schools could also say that it's ok to never want sex. Because everything in today's culture is so sexualized, I felt like I was a freak who needed therapy before I discovered the asexual spectrum since I had only felt sexual attraction to two people in my entire life.
