  • National Day of Silence: the Freedom to Speak (Or Not) Frequently Asked Questions, Answered by Lambda Legal
    National Day of Silence: The Freedom to Speak (Or Not) Frequently Asked Questions, Answered by Lambda Legal March 2018 April 27, 2018 is the National Day of Silence, a student-led action sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in which thousands of students around the country will remain silent for all or part of the school day to call attention to the harassment and discrimination faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth. Over the years, GLSEN and Lambda Legal have heard from hundreds of students, parents and allies who have encountered resistance from their schools and school officials in response to their efforts to participate in Day of Silence activities. The purpose of this FAQ is to provide information about the rights of students to participate in the Day of Silence and what to do if school officials interfere with those rights. Do students have the right to participate in and Do students have a right to display posters and advocate for the Day of Silence? make announcements about the Day of Silence? In most circumstances, yes. Under the Constitution, public In many circumstances, yes. If a public school generally schools must respect students’ right to free speech.1 The allows students or student organizations to display posters right to speak includes the right not to speak, as well as the or make announcements on the public address system—the right to wear buttons or T-shirts expressing support for a school may not deny or otherwise restrict your right to cause. This does not mean students can say—or not say— display posters or use the PA system based on your anything they want at all times.

It is commonly thought that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) history is only for LGBT people. This is a false assumption. In out current age of a continually expanding communication network, a given individual will inevitably e interacting with thousands of people, many of them of other nationalities, of other races, and many of them LGBT. Thus, it is crucial for all people to understand the past and possible contributions of all others. There is no room in our society for bigotry, for prejudiced views, or for the simple omission of any group from public knowledge. In acknowledging LGBT history, one teaches respect for all people, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or sexual orientation. By recognizing the accomplishments of LGBT people in our common history, we are also recognizing that LGBT history affects all of us. The people presented here are not amazing because they are LGBT, but because they accomplished great feats of intellect and action. These accomplishments are amplified when we consider the amount of energy these people were required to expend fighting for recognition in a society which refused to accept their contributions because of their sexuality, or fighting their own fear and self-condemnation, as in the case of Michael Wigglesworth and countless others.

  • Research Brief
    RESEARCH BRIEF THE EXPERIENCES OF LGBT STUDENTS IN SCHOOL ATHLETICS For students in general, participation in sports and physical activity at school has been shown to have positive effects on their physical health, self-esteem, and sense of connectedness to their schools. Involvement in extracurricular sports has also been shown to have academic benefits, both directly through school policies requiring athletes to maintain minimum GPA’s and indirectly by strengthening students’ identification with their school communities.1 Unfortunately, some re- search suggests that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students may not have access to the benefits of par- ticipating in school athletics because they may be less likely than their non-LGBT peers to attend Physical Education (P.E.) classes or play on a sports team.2 Using data from GLSEN’s 2011 National School Climate Survey, this brief exam- ines LGBT students’ experiences in school athletics, including the benefits of their involvement and the barriers to their participation. FACT: Physical Education classes were unsafe environments for many LGBT students. As with most secondary students in the U.S.,3 most (73.0%) LGBT students took a P.E. or gym class at school in the past year. Unfortunately, many LGBT students had been harassed or assaulted while attending these classes. More than half of LGBT students who took a P.E. class were bullied or harassed during P.E. because of their sexual orientation (52.8%) or gender expression (50.9%; see Figure 1). Figure 1. LGBT Students' Experiences of Bullying and Perhaps given these experiences of victim- Harassment in P.E.

  • Planning for Action: Social Support and Activity
    PLANNING FOR ACTION LGBTI RELEVANT & INCLUSIVE ACTIVITIES & RESOURCES FOR SOCIAL SUPPORT & ACTIVITY PROGRAMS BACKGROUND In mainstream social support and activity programs for older people, services aim to provide a range of activities to meet the needs of an often diverse range of participants. In order to provide a welcoming environment for older lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people, services need to provide some activities that can demonstrate welcome and relevance. While not all older LGBTI people will be out to the service, the provision of LGBTI relevant and inclusive activities are a visible and meaningful message of welcome and inclusion to LGBTI participants. This resource includes a range of possible activities and resources that could be included in a mainstream program that will be of interest to not only many older LGBTI people but mainstream service users too. Of course, there are likely to be much more content that is relevant and inviting, so undertake some research and seek ideas from participants through consultation and feedback, and any other ways your service plans and develops your program FESTIVALS There are a range of Victorian LGBTI specific festivals including some of the regional festivals – of course everyone can attend so consider scheduling a trip or session in your program. Most have a range of activities – events, arts, film and theatre more: Event Details Midsumma Festival a range of activities and festivities including Midsumma Carnival and Pride March, and an (Jan‐Feb) entire arts

However, many reporters, editors and producers continue to face challenges covering these issues in a complex, often rhetorically charged, climate. Media coverage of LGBT people has become increasingly multi-dimensional, reflecting both the diversity of our community and the growing visibility of our families and our relationships. As a result, reporting that remains mired in simplistic, predictable “pro-gay”/”anti-gay” dualisms does a disservice to readers seeking information on the diversity of opinion and experience within our community. Misinformation and misconceptions about our lives can be corrected when journalists diligently research the facts and expose the myths (such as pernicious claims that gay people are more likely to sexually abuse children) that often are used against us.
