Abstract
![CDATA[Many countries in the world are now, to varying degrees, supportive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and plus (LGBTQ+) identities, and encouragingly, LGBTQ+-related inclusions are increasingly apparent in some school contexts. Despite this, LGBTQ+ identities often remain silenced and marginalized in educational settings internationally. This entry examines LGBTQ+-related issues in K–12 education. It first outlines broad issues related to LGBTQ+ identities and schooling. Then it examines LGBTQ+ issues in K–12 educational settings, focusing on three main areas: (1) LGBTQ+ students’ experiences at school; (2) LGBTQ+ teachers’ experiences, as well as educators’ experiences related to addressing LGBTQ+ issues at school; and (3) parents’ perspectives toward the inclusion/exclusion of gender and sexuality diversity knowledges in schools.]]
