The Beyond Bullying Project:
Stories of LGBTQ sexuality in schools
Overview
BEYOND BULLYING SET UP STORYTELLING BOOTHS IN US HIGH SCHOOLS
We collected stories in Minneapolis, New York, and San Francisco that reflect the many ways LGBTQ sexuality comes up in schools. Students, teachers, and administrators went inside the booths and and told their stories about LGBTQ sexuality — school assignments, crushes, families, friendships, break-ups, coming out, harassment, bravery, and aspirations.
We’ll share some of those stories on this website. We wonder, what does LGBTQ mean to you?
