Welcome

School should be a place where you feel safe, respected, and free to be yourself. But for many queer students, that’s not always the reality.

This site is here to help you know your rights and advocate for yourself. Here, you will find:

A clear breakdown of your legal rights at school
What you can do if those rights aren’t respected
Real stories of students who spoke up and made change
