Despite the best efforts of professionals to implement anti-bullying policies and curricula designed to foster tolerance and respect, bullying remains a serious problem in some learning communities. Surveys find that about a third of high school students are bullied in a given school year; seven percent of students noted they were bullied every day. LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning) youth are frequent targets of bullies, which makes them a vulnerable population that needs their safety and welfare protected. Teachers and youth-serving professionals will witness a noticeable increase in the number of students coming out, and doing so at earlier ages. Subsequent social changes will require teachers, school district leadership teams, and state boards of education to become more responsive to LGBTQ student needs. This article provides a list of myths that can lead to damaging misunderstandings and false assumptions that can escalate into peer related stereotypical prejudices. Three key practices are offered that can help teachers be supportive of LGBT or questioning students and help them provide a safe and secure environment within which they can develop a sense of well-being and a positive self concept. Some tips for how school leaders can best handle the bullying of LGBTQ students are also provided.
