This Is the Day to Address Bullying of LGBT Youth
Did you know the majority of LGBT students still report hearing homophobic language in schools? Or that nearly all transgender students surveyed in GLSEN’s National School Climate Survey reported having been verbally harassed at school, and over half said they were physically harassed?
This needs to change.
It is perplexing why a country founded on values of liberty and equality fails to notice the continued disparities faced by LGBT people. To be sure, we have made great strides. But while LGBT characters are increasingly represented on television and film, there is a lack of multidimensionality and diversity in many of these characterizations. And while Pope Francis may take on a “who am I to judge?” attitude toward same-sex marriage, countless faith leaders around the U.S. responded to the federal ruling with condemnation and moral outrage.
