1. Life in Scotland for LGBT Young People 2022, Dr Kathleen Cronie (@KathleenCronie) from LGBT Youth Scotland (@LGBTYS).
This is a report based on a large-scale, longitudinal study (conducted over the course of 15 years) that surveyed over 1000 young people from the LGBT community about their perceptions and experiences in relation to education, work, health, and other areas. Particularly the experiences of LGBT young people in schools and related bullying paint a worrisome picture. The full report is worth a read and can be used as a basis for in-class discussions. While this piece of research focusses on a Scottish population, the findings are likely to reflect circumstances in other countries as well.

Learn and teach about LGBTQ+ history and famous people, but there are also resources to help raise awareness for homophobic language. All materials are freely available and nicely designed for classroom implementation.
