The research also confirmed that lower levels of harassment and better educational outcomes are related to the presence of school-based supports: LGBTQ-inclusive anti-bullying policies, LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum, supportive educators and Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs).<\/p>\n<p>For Florida specifically, the report found:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The vast majority of LGBTQ students in Florida regularly heard anti-LGBT remarks. Many also regularly heard school staff make homophobic remarks (23 percent) and negative remarks about someone\u2019s gender expression (35 percent).<\/li>\n<li>Most LGBTQ students in Florida had been victimized at school. Of those, most never reported the incident to school staff (57 percent). Only 30 percent of those students who reported incidents said it resulted in effective staff intervention.<\/li>\n<li>Many LGBTQ students in Florida reported discriminatory policies or practices at their school. Nearly 2 in 3 (63 percent) experienced at least one form of discrimination at school during the past year. In Florida, over six in 10 transgender students (62 percent) were unable to use the school restroom that aligned with their gender identity.<\/li>\n<li>Many LGBTQ students in Florida did not have access to in-school resources and supports. Only 7 percent attended a school with a comprehensive anti-bullying\/harassment policy; only a fifth (20 percent) had access to an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum; 60 percent could identify six or more supportive school staff; and half had access to a GSA or similar student club.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe results of this survey mirror the stories we hear from LGBTQ middle and high school students in Florida,\u201d said Jana Csenger, Co-Chair of GLSEN Collier County. \u201cSchools are still hostile environments for so many of these students, and now more than ever they need our support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have so much more work to do, but we have seen what works in Florida to improve school climates for LGBTQ students: supportive educators, anti-bullying policies that specifically protect LGBTQ students, supportive student clubs and school curriculum that positively depicts LGBTQ topics,\u201d said Ginger Malcolm, Chair of GLSEN Orlando.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLGBTQ students, like all students, deserve safe and inclusive learning environments, and the high levels of harassment and discrimination they face in Florida schools hinder their ability to succeed,\u201d said Gregg Coldiron, Chair of GLSEN Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p>About GLSEN<br \/>\nGLSEN champions safe and affirming schools for all students. We envision a world in which every child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Each year, GLSEN programs and resources reach tens of thousands of K-12 schools across the United States, and our network of chapters brings GLSEN\u2019s expertise to their local communities. GLSEN&#8217;s progress and impact have won support for our work at all levels of education in the United States and sparked an international movement to ensure equality for LGBTQ students and respect for all in schools.
