Happy Pride!
This month is dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and advocating for progress on equality and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ folks worldwide. However, the work and growth must persist beyond Pride month. Change — legislative and societal — takes time. Change goes beyond the bare minimum of acceptance. For progress to be made on the basis of equality for the LGBTQIA+ community, it must be intersectional. I created this guide for teachers and anyone else who celebrate and be an ally for LGBTQIA+ folks, students, and families. It is a starting point. The real growth and change happen through your own actions and initiative. Many schools and classrooms still reflect cis heteronormativity. All students and families must be included, welcomed, celebrated, and reflected in the classroom and the environment. . . .If you like this post, have any questions, or have ideas on how I can improve my blog, leave me a comment below! Your input is always appreciated. As always, thank you for your support.
