the number of generic anti-bullying laws demonstrates that there is either a lack of knowledge or a lack of will around explicitly outlawing harassment and discrimination against LGBT students by explicitly listing the categories of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression for such protections.
So... it's not enough to outlaw bullying. The words "sexual orientation" and "gender identity/expression" must be explicitly stated...
...at least eight states require the promotion of monogamous heterosexual marriage, often exclusive of any other relationship. Such stigmatizing laws and policies create a hostile and dangerous climate for all students, but specifically gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students.
Oh, heavens no! Don't promote monogamous marriage (there is no other besides heterosexual) without enlightening children to the many sexual options available to them. ;-)
This report would be hysterically funny if it weren't actually coming to pass.
enlightening children to the many sexual options = safe schools
What is wrong with this statement??!!
