How Catholic Schools Are Creating a Safe Climate for Gay and Lesbian Students.
Gevelinger, Mary Ellen; Zimmerman, Laurel
Educational Leadership, v55 n2 p66-68 Oct 1997

An 11-school Pastoral Care and Sexual Identity Study Group identified four goals: hold a sexual-identity workshop for professional staff; train faculty members to function as "safe staff"; teach that homophobic behavior is unacceptable; and form a support group for students.
