The environments are particularly hostile for lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr or qutng (LGBTQ) stunts. They are likely to hear eight homophobic sults a day, wh one-third of the eher perpetrated or ndoned by school staff. Some 80% of homophobic and transphobic cints that LGBTQ young people experience take place schools.
In my rearch, teachers suggted that the stunts who were at risk of genr-based or homophobic bullyg had exceptnal strengths that protected them om emotnal or psychologil damage om such cints.
Teachers often failed to regnise that homophobic language, or ephets like “slut” and “poof”, uld be harmful to stunts. When moments of homophobia or genred aggrsn occurred, they often dismissed as not ser or as an evable product of adolcent relatnships.
