Therefore, in alignment with our mission and our research findings, GLSEN supports inclusive curricular standards that require affirming representation of the contributions and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people, people who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), people with disabilities, and all marginalized communities. GLSEN advocates for the adoption of policies that encourage positive school transformation where all students, including those who are LGBTQ+, transgender, nonbinary, people of color, and people with disabilities, can thrive and reach their full potential.Īccess to inclusive curriculum is one of the Four Core Supports identified by GLSEN’s research that improves school climates for LGBTQ+ youth, along with comprehensive nondiscrimination and anti-bullying policies, supportive educators, and access to GSAs (Gender and Sexuality Alliances or Gay Straight Alliances).
