Although Pride Month is over, the need to support LGBTQ+ youth in schools continues. LGBTQ+ youth face higher rates of bullying and other forms of victimization as compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers. For example, nearly two-third of LGBTQ+ students who surveyed in 2017 reported feeling unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation (Kosciw et al., 2018). Findings from a large national survey conducted by the CDC showed that over 10% of LGB students reported not going to school at least one day in the month prior to the survey because of safety concerns.
