¡Celebrar y Educar! GLSEN Supports Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month

Today kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month!

This is an exciting time to celebrate Latino heritage as we recognize the many ways that people of Hispanic descent from all over the world have added to the collective culture of the United States. Throughout this next month start thoughtful conversations with your students or classmates about what it means to bring both these identities at school. Students: Use the hero profiles and have discussions around leadership skills and Latino culture in your classes or your next GSA meeting. Educators: Include these heroes as part of your inclusive curriculum efforts! The next four weeks is also a great opportunity to highlight the many members of the Latino LGBT community who have positively impacted the history of the United States and to ensure coherent inclusion of LGBT issues throughout the school year.
