LGBTQ+ people deserve to be unapologetically who they are at school.
School should be a safe place for learning and discovery. But for LGBTQ+ young people, it’s often a place of discrimination and fear. Students don’t just face bullying and discrimination from their peers and teachers—they also face institutional exclusion from sports teams and school dances, gender-appropriate bathrooms and dorms.
That’s why Lambda Legal is fighting in courts and legislatures to ensure schools do their part to protect this vulnerable community—while offering trusted resources for LGBTQ+ students who have questions about their rights.
