GAY TEACHERS SHOULDN’T HAVE TO HI WHO THEY ARE

Gav Newsom and sla gay rights lear Harvey the ne-hour Temecula Valley Unified meetg, which ran past midnight, some parents spoke support of the nservative majory on the school board and s buckg of state standards for clive and diverse pated Newsom — who plans to send textbooks that reference Milk to Temecula stunts fiance of the board — as a “tyrant” who “forc his le” upon a district he knows nothg about. Thursday, 20 Jul 2023 11:51 PM MYT KOTA KINABALU, July 20 — Three former stunts of a sendary school Kota Belud, who won a su agast their absentee teacher, hoped that the se would serve as a lson to all quarters, to fulfil their rpective of the platiffs, Calva Angayung, 22, exprsed hope that the victory would motivate others, who still keep their silence, to stand up for their rights.

Robson, who had hidn her own sexualy when she started teachg the 1980s, started the Courageo Lears programme bee she believed LGBT teachers were missg out on promotn, as they were aaid to put their heads above the year-long programme volv three days of face-to-face trag, cludg lectur, gut speakers and workshops, wh the aim of stillg learship skills and boostg nfince through sharg experienc and mutual summaris the succs a new book, Courage the Classroom, that clus chapters by lbian, gay and transgenr teachers about overg prejudice and learng to be themselv. For example, a Gallup poll of more than 12, 000 US adults (Jon, 2022), 21% of Generatn Z rponnts (born 1997–2003) self-intify as lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr (LGBT)—a rather high number pared to 11% of Millenials (born 1981–1996) and 4% of Generatn X rponnts (born 1965–1980).

“THAT’S SO GAY” | FROM A TEACHER’S PERSPECTIVE

The sexual mory stunts benef om the safe spac—where stunts n eely be who they are whout fearg negative nsequenc of any kd—created by their teachers as studi monstrate lbian, gay, and bisexual stunts to be more vulnerable than heterosexual stunts to experience homo- and biphobic discrimatn, stigmatizatn, and victimizatn (Dunn et al., 2017; Gegenfurtner & Gebhardt, 2017; Smh & Reidy, 2021) which, ultimately, rc their amic achievement (Goldfarb & Lieberman, 2021; Kosciw et al., 2020). To mimize the negative school experienc for sexual mory children and adolcents, is important to sensize pre-service teachers early their teachg reers and crease their attus toward the vulnerable groups of stunts bee, as rearch fdgs suggt, teachers wh posive attus toward lbian, gay, and bisexual stunts are more likely to create safe spac (Goldste-Schultz, 2022), prevent homophobic behavr (Glikman & Elkayam, 2019), rrect peer bullyg (Nappa et al., 2018), act as mentors (Gastic & Johnson, 2009), participate sexual diversy trag (Kwok, 2018), and implement LGBTQ-clive curricula their classrooms (Klocke et al., 2019; Page, 2017) than teachers wh homonegative attus. Eagly and Chaiken (2007) pos that attus n be short-term or long-term; while past experienc of an dividual wh a particular attu object (for example, wh gay or lbian stunts) n tablish a certa stable tenncy to rpond favorably or unfavorably to other gay or lbian stunts, the rpons are not necsarily temporally permanent—they n change as an dividual mak more experienc (for example, new social ntacts) which leave novel mental ridu that predispose how an dividual (a teacher) rponds to attu objects the future.

GAY TEACHERS

For this purpose, survey-based rearch employs the feelg thermometer approach (Alw, 2007; Herek & McLemore, 2013), which measur overt affective feelgs toward an attu object (Eagly & Chaiken, 2007): Based on a symbolic thermometer, teachers numerilly exprs their favorable or unfavorable feelgs towards lbian, gay, and bisexual stunts, wh their attus rrpondg to temperatur. Posive relatns between tergroup ntact and rced sexual prejudice, posive attus, and equent rpons to homophobic bullyg school have also been documented wh teacher sampl om Germany (Klocke et al., 2019), Greece (Grigoropoulos, 2022), and Italy (Bac et al., 2020; Simone et al., 2022; Zotti et al., 2019). To acunt for the different qualy of work ntacts, is specified here as someone one’s larger social work (for example, loose acquatanc at work or a socially distant neighbor), one’s close iendship circle (for example, a very good or a bt iend), or one’s fay (a lbian, gay, or bisexual siblg).

Ground this amework, past rearch on pre-service and -service teachers examed a seri of rrelat, cludg age, genr, sexual orientatn, hometown size, religsy, and polil, terms of age, Herek and McLemore (2013) speculated that sexual prejudice tends to bee “dysfunctnal if muny and peer group norms change such that exprsns of antigay attus evoke social rejectn rather than support” (p. Although seems plsible that (cisgenr heterosexual) men value bi- and homosexual dividuals to affirm their own masculy and heterosexualy (Herek & McLemore, 2013), a number of studi have reported nonsignifint genr differenc attus (Grigoropoulos, 2022; Hall & Rodgers, 2019; Stucky et al., 2020; Wyatt et al., 2008).

The fdgs rrpond wh ample rearch evince beyond teacher populatns documentg greater levels of sexual prejudice and homonegative attus of heterosexual men pared to heterosexual women, particularly directed toward gay men (Herek, 2002; Klocke, prs; Petersen & Hy 2010). A number of studi wh teachers workg Korea (Jeong, 2020), Brazil (Stucky et al., 2020), Italy (Bac et al., 2020), and the USA (Hall & Rodgers, 2019; Page, 2017) have reported that highly relig teachers have ls posive attus toward lbian and gay people, prumably bee homosexualy dispts and vlat the value systems and tradnal genr rol of certa relig nomatns. Teachers who are polilly liberal and left-wg oriented have more favorable feelgs toward lbians and gays than teachers who are polilly nservative and right-wg oriented (Bac et al., 2020; Foy & Hodge, 2016; Hall & Rodgers, 2019; Heras-Sevilla & Ortega-Sánchez, 2020; Klocke et al., 2019), probably bee polilly nservative people value heteronormative genr rol and sexual relatns.

Hypothis 1 assumed that pre-service teachers wh lbian, gay, or bisexual dividuals their social work (Hypothis 1a), particularly as close iends (Hypothis 1b) or fay members (Hypothis 1c), would display more posive attus than pre-service teachers whout social ntact. Hypothis 2 assumed that attus toward lbian, gay, and bisexual stunts would be more favorable among pre-service teachers who are of younger ag (Hypothis 2a), are female (Hypothis 2b), intify as bisexual or homosexual (Hypothis 2c), were raised an urban area (Hypothis 2d), are ls relig (Hypothis 2e), and are polilly left-wg oriented (Hypothis 2f). The feelg thermometer sr were terrelated, suggtg that people wh homonegative attus toward lbian and gay stunts also display begative attus toward bisexual stunts; siarly, people wh posive attus toward lbian stunts tend to display posive feelgs toward gay and bisexual stunts as well.

COMG OUT CLASS: WHEN TEACHERS TELL STUNTS "I'M GAY"

Regrsn analysis: Predictors of lbian, gay, and bisexual thermometer sr Study 1Full size tableIn terms of mographic variabl, age was found to be negatively associated wh attus toward lbian, gay, and bisexual stunts, suggtg that the younger participants tend to have more posive feelgs than olr participants; th, Hypothis 2a was nfirmed. 4 Discsn of study 1In le wh attu theory (Eagly & Chaiken, 2007) and tergroup ntact theory (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006), the fdgs of Study 1 nfirm that social ntact and mographic variabl are important predictors of pre-service teacher attus toward homo- and bisexual children and adolcents at school. 2 Intergroup ContactIn Study 2, pre-service teachers were asked to rpond to three ems each to dite whether they have (a) a lbian woman, gay man, or bisexual dividual their social work; (b) a close lbian, gay, or bisexual iend; or (c) a lbian, gay, or bisexual fay member.

Specifilly, pre-service teachers were assigned the numeril 1 if they (a) had ntact wh lbian women or gay men but not wh bisexual people, (b) had ntact wh lbian women or bisexual people but not wh gay men, or (c) had ntact wh gay men or bisexual people but not wh lbian women.

Compared to pre-service teachers whout any LGB ntact, pre-service teachers who had no ntact wh lbian women still showed favorable attus toward lbian stunts if they had prr social ntact wh gay men and bisexual people; their tergroup ntact was associated wh a sendary rctn of homonegative attus toward the nonntacted outgroup of lbians. Most importantly, the predictive assumptns of the tergroup ntact theory (Allport, 1954; Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006) were nfirmed; specifilly, the prence of a lbian, gay, or bisexual dividual wh one’s social work or as a close iend was found to be posively associated wh attu sr, which is le wh prevly reported empiril rults (Bac et al., 2020; Simone et al., 2022; Foy & Hodge, 2016; Grigoropoulos, 2022; Klocke, prs; Reimer et al., 2017; Stucky et al., 2020; Zotti et al., 2019).

TEACHER ATTUS TOWARD LBIAN, GAY, AND BISEXUAL STUNTS: EVINCE FOR TERGROUP NTACT THEORY AND SENDARY TRANSFER EFFECTS

Based on the fdgs of Study 1, we n nclu that attus toward sexual mory stunts are more posive among young, female, bi- or homosexual, ls relig, and polilly left-wg-oriented pre-service teachers and those wh close lbian, gay, or bisexual iends or work support of the sendary transfer effect (Pettigrew, 2009), the fdgs of Study 2 nfirmed that tergroup ntact wh sexual mory groups is associated wh a sendary rctn of bi- and homonegative attus toward the nonntacted outgroup. Furthermore, future studi n exame the nsequenc of pre-service teacher attus and actns when alg wh sexual mory stunts class, such as chang judgment accuracy (Tobisch & Drel, 2017), reactns to homophobic bullyg (Klocke et al., 2019; Nappa et al., 2018; Zotti et al., 2019), and sexual mory stunts’ school adaptatn (Schotte et al., 2022), to help create safe spac for the growg number of sexual mory stunts who disclose their sexual orientatns at school.

Possible avenu for attu change—or at least posive attu formatn—among this populatn clu promotg social ntact wh lbian, gay, and bisexual dividuals teacher tn semars; vg LGBTQIA + experts to share their stori and experienc; readg LGBTQIA + lerature; and listeng to stunt g-out narrativ (Bartoş et al., 2014; Dsel, 2010; Gato et al., 2020; Gegenfurtner & Gebhardt, 2017).

Overall, if we nsir that pre-service teachers, once they beg their service, will work for many years wh a growg number of children and adolcents classrooms that intify as lbian, gay, or bisexual (Gato et al., 2020; Gower et al., 2022; Jon, 2022; Moskowz et al., 2022; Scharmanski & Heßlg, 2021), then teacher tn programs should aim at supportg pre-service teachers reflect on their attus and preparg future teacher generatns to create clive and safe spac for every child class.
