Safe Schools for All
School should be a place where every student is safe to learn, participate in extracurricular activities, and have fun with friends, classmates, and teammates. But students who are transgender, nonbinary, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or intersex still face discrimination, bullying, and harassment at school because of who they are. If you are a student who is LGBTQI+, we want you to know that the organizations represented on this website and many others, as well as your federal government, have your back.
