State of Central NY Schools for LGBTQ Students

On behalf of Syracuse University’s Cultural Foundations in Education class, “Queer Youth / Straight Schools,” you are cordially invited…

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer students struggle every day to find a place where they can feel comfortable being who they are. Every day LGBTQ high school students are bombarded with homophobic epithets. As the recent string of suicides has shown us, many LGBTQ students feel the only way to escape their school experience is death.

Help make this reality something of the past.

Syracuse University students have compiled a report based on sociological research and interviews that they have conducted with individuals involved in local Syracuse area schools. This report discusses the position of LGBTQ students in these schools and how to possibly help change the current school climate.

Please come to the presentation of this report on Monday the 13th of December at 1:00pm. We will be presenting in room 011 of the Martin J. Whitman School of Management Building at 721 University Ave on the Syracuse University campus. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.

Light refreshments will be served.
