Scenario Context: A middle school in a diverse suburban area has a strong emphasis on academic achievement and community involvement, but has had limited discussions about LGBTQ+ students and their right to be safe and welcome in schools.

Dilemma: Why are the students seemingly being blocked from forming a Gender-Sexuality Alliance (GSA) in their school?

In this issue of Equity Express, we explore how LGBTQ+ students can be further marginalized by their school, and the effects it may have on them.
