An Examination Of School Harassment For Middle School Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Questioning Students, Kimberly Megan Indelicato
LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations
Most schools are not safe environments for lesbian, gay, and bisexual students or for individuals who are questioning their sexual orientation.

While affirmative interventions are currently the status quo for work with LGB populations, it can be argued that these are limited. In …
