Lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer/qutng (LGBTQ) youth often navigate more hostile school climat than their heterosexual, cisgenr peers. School ntext be even more important when we nsir the health and well-beg of LGBTQ youth, as they are more likely to experience school-based harassment, victimizatn, and bullyg than their cisgenr and heterosexual peers (Day, Perez-Bmer, & Rsell, 2018; Toomey & Rsell, 2016) programs such as Gay-Straight Allianc (GSAs; also known as Genr and Sexualy Allianc) and school polici foced on support for LGBTQ stunts (LGBTQ-foced polici) have also been intified as effective means for improvg school climat, pecially for LGBTQ youth (Chir-Teran & Hugh, 2009; Fetner & Elaos, 2015; Goonow et al., 2006; Heck, Flentje, & Cochran, 2013; Kosciw, Greytak, Giga, Villenas, & Danischewski, 2016; Marx & Kettrey, 2016; McGuire, Anrson, Toomey, & Rsell, 2010).

Prev studi of sexual and genr mory youth school ntexts have often bed sampl of lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr youth; this is also among the first studi on measur of school climate related to social support and bullyg to clu genr inty pennt of sexual inty. Regnizg this, the review below variatns of the acronym LGBTQ (lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer/qutng) to accurately scribe the sample characteristics of prr Bullyg SchoolsAll forms of bullyg are ncerng, yet youth who experience bias-based bullyg based on their perceived or actual sexual or genr inty have poorer mental health, greater substance e, and higher tancy pared to youth who experience general forms of bullyg (Birkett, Espelage, & Koenig, 2009; Bontempo & D’Augelli, 2002; Rivers & D’Augelli, 2001; Rsell et al., 2012).

Addnally, only 12% of the youth reported that teachers tervened most or all of the time when they heard homophobic remarks; yet schools wh GSAs, 20% of youth reported teacher terventn rponse to homophobic statements (Kosciw et al., 2016). The lack of social supports and higher risks of victimizatn of LGBTQ youth schools unrsr the importance of intifyg programs and polici that improve school climate and experienc for LGBTQ and LGBTQ-Foced Polici SchoolsGay-Straight Allianc may serve a particularly valuable support functn wh schools.
School personnel schools wh a GSA are more likely to tervene when they hear homophobic remarks than those schools whout GSAs (Kosciw et al., 2016), and LGBTQ youth report greater school nnectedns and lower negative mental health out when attendg schools wh GSAs (Heck et al., 2013). The recent change name om the “Gay-Straight Alliance Network” to the more clive “Genrs and Sexuali Alliance” work enurag nsiratn for how the programs may provi differential support for LGB and transgenr youth (GSA Network, 2016) school polici also play a val role strengtheng social supports schools for LGBTQ youth.
