THE CONCEPT OF BEAUTY
LGBTTQ+
LGBTTQ stands for: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit, and Queer or Questioning. The plus (+) ensures that further identities are included and indicates that nobody is left out.
About 1 in every 10 people is LGBTTQ+.
According to the BC Ministry of Education and childcare data:
- 19% of BC high school students identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and are not exclusively heterosexual.
- 1% of BC high school students identify as transgender.
- 5% of indigenous students identify as two spirit.
- studies show that having SOGI specific anti-bullying policies improves the school climate for LGBTQS2+ and heterosexual students, reducing discrimination suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.
We know that what people watch on TV or see on the internet, as well as influences of family and friends shape how they view and treat the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people around them. And we have a responsibility to make sure those images foster awareness, understanding, and respect.
If a student uses an LGBTQ term, like “gay”, in a derogatory way, ask them if they know what it means. If they don’t, give a short definition and explain that it is offensive to use such terms when the intention is to be hurtful and mean to someone. Let them know they should not use it in that way!
B.C. Human Rights Code amendments in 2016
The Human Rights Code now includes “gender identity or expression” among the protected grounds covered by the Code.
SOGI-inclusive education is about students having conversations about the SOGI diversity in society and the importance of treating everyone with dignity and respect.
