SELF DEVELOPMENT IN SOCIETY
LGBTQI@GDE Addendum re: LGBTQI content
The abbreviation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex
The nature and source of prejudice, discriminatory and oppressive behaviour.
1. Many lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex (LGBTQI) people report that they deal surprisingly well
with systemic discrimination, some of them experience depression or any other mental health
condition. However, experiences with discrimination and stigmatization can lead to a greater
likelihood of emotional distress, depression and anxiety.
2. People can often feel pressured to fit into society's conventional ideas of being masculine or
feminine. Those who do not fit the mould may be subjected to ridicule, intimidation and even
physical abuse.
3. Although there is an increasing acceptance of LGBTQI people in society and greater visibility in
the media and public life, many LGBTQI people still experience discrimination, harassment and
violence at work, school and in social situations
The impact of discrimination
1. Discrimination is linked to health harm, even for those not directly exposed to it, because
the presence of discrimination, stigma, and prejudice creates a hostile social climate that
strains individuals' coping resources and contributes to minority stress.
2. Minority stress—including internalized stigma, low self-esteem, expectations of rejection,
and fear of discrimination—help explain the health disparities seen in LGBT populations.
3. Discrimination based on intersecting identities such as gender, race or socio-economic
status can exacerbate the harm of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or
gender identity.
What can schools do?
• Schools can also help reduce stigma and discrimination of the LGBTQI community. A
positive school environment is associated with less depression, less suicidal feelings,
lower drug use, and less unexcused absence from school among LGBQTI students.

• Schools can help create safer and more supportive environments by preventing bullying
and harassment, fostering school connectedness and fostering parental involvement.
This can be done through the following policies and
practices.
• Encourage respect for all students and do not
allow bullying, harassment or violence against
any students.
• Identify "safe spaces," such as counsellors’
offices, designated classrooms, or student
organisations, where gay and bisexual youth can
receive support from administrators, teachers, or
other school personnel.
• Encourage student-led and student-organised school clubs that promote a safe,
welcoming and accepting school environment (such as gay-straight alliances, which are
school clubs open to youth of all sexual orientations).
• Make sure that health classes or educational materials contain HIV and STD information
that is also relevant to gay and bisexual youth, and make sure that the information uses
inclusive words or terms.
• Encourage school district and school staff to create and publicize trainings on how to
create safe and supportive school environments for all students, regardless of sexual
orientation or gender identity, and encourage staff to attend these
trainings.
• Make it easier for students to access community-based providers
experienced in providing health services, including HIV/STD testing
and counselling, and social and psychological services to gay and
bisexual youth.
What can communities do?
1. Imagine being a young person and feeling confused, isolated and
not accepted for who you are? All youth on the road to self-
discovery need positive role models.
