Supporting Gay Youth is a Core
San Francisco Value

By Rachel Norton, School Board Member

This week, a resolution (authored by Commissioner Fewer) on support services for LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning) youth in SFUSD got a lot of attention.

San Francisco has a long, proud tradition of supporting gay youth in our schools -- 20 years ago we were the first school district in the nation to establish Support Services for LGBTQ Youth, an SFUSD department providing curriculum, resources, and professional development to support LGBTQ youth in our schools. Last year, we launched a comprehensive web site to assist our teachers in providing that support -- also the first district in the country to take such a step.

Q. What are you doing to create a safer school community for LGBTQ students?

We did a marriage booth last month in response to prop 8 and marriage equality. So we set up a little booth and any student of any gender or sexual orientation could marry any other student and it was a big hit. The whole lunch period we were constantly marrying people. We gave marriage certificates and sold Ring Pops. It was really cute and a much better turn out than any of us had anticipated.
