It is disheartening that literature about gay and LBGTQ students is still not being taught in most schools. While schools talk about diversity and are currently spending money on hiring mental health professionals to help students with their mental health distress, the canon of texts that are being taught has not fundamentally changed in the past 25- 30 years. The Health teacher may be talking about gender choices and homophobia, but English teachers are not teaching plays and novels where gay characters have a place. There is little debate that students need and want to see versions of themselves in the stories they are reading. To some extent this has been done in regards to students of color, but clearly not in regards to LGBTQ students. The goal then is to begin to build a library of texts that are teachable not only in my class but in other classes in the school, and create thematic units based on those texts.
