Case Study

“Missing Information”

Information of interest to lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth is frequently sent to the administration of your school by local community organizations, but you notice, it never makes it into announcements or onto bulletin boards. A college scholarship established for lesbian, gay, and bisexual students is not mentioned in the package distributed to seniors.

• Have you ever noticed a similar “filtering” of information provided generally to your school’s population?

• Does your school receive information of interest to lesbian/gay/bisexual people from community organizations?

• How have you responded, or might you respond, to similar instances?
