The researchers found, in a study reported in the
Journal of
Adolescent Research November 12, 2014, that LGBTQ youth are punished for public displays of
affection and violating gender norms. Youth often experience a hostile school
climate, may fight to protect themselves, and are frequently blamed for their
own victimization. Family rejection and homelessness facilitate entry in the
school-to-prison pipeline. Narratives highlight new opportunities to challenge
inequity in schools.
