Whether America wants to admit it or not, its schools are filled with gay and lesbian students, teachers, principals, coaches, and counselors. And each day they face enormous challenges. The author conducted over 300 interviews with gay and straight educators, students, and parents across the country. What he discovered was a veritable kaleidoscope of experiences. By putting a human face on the reality of homosexuality in America’s schools, School’s Out sheds new light on pressures, prejudice, and breakthroughs LGBT people deal with in a new era of education.
