Education & Schools

School should be a safe place to learn, make friends, and explore interests, but for many LGBTQ+ students, school often means bullying, harassment, and erasure. Schools are becoming a cultural battleground, with onerous restrictions on curriculum, sex education, even the availability of LGBTQ+ books. We are seeing bills that put limitations on correctly gendering transgender students and even those requiring mandatory outings by teachers and administrators to parents, making schools unsafe for LGBTQ+ students.

We do not list bills as positive or negative because we defer to our member organizations on the ground. The bills listed on this page are those that impact the LGBTQ+ community in one way or another. If you would like to see specific good or bad bills in your state, please go to our Members page and find the member organization in your state.
