Maryland Commission on LGBTQIA+ Affairs: Recommendations for Supporting LGBTQIA+ Students in Maryland’s K-12 Schools

Browse resource:

“The barriers facing Maryland’s LGBTQIA+ youth are severe and numerous. This set of recommendations focuses on schools and education: however, LGBTQIA+ youth are dehumanized, disregarded and discarded in every public institution. This will not end until we have the courage to do something. The obstacles we face are not easy. There is no single narrative of our community. Many LGBTQIA+ students are thriving, are able to access the support they need, are able to experience safety, joy and pride; others need their parents, educators and peers to contribute to building a world where everyone can thrive. Solutions exist. Accurate information exists. We exist.” “Fears are not facts.” - Chaz Bono
