LGBTQ+ Students' High School Experience
Episode 1
Monday, 29 June, 2020
Life as an LGBTQ+ student is never easy, especially in a rural state like Montana. As high schoolers ourselves, we wanted to delve into the school system and learn from LGBTQ+ students' different firsthand experiences and from a high school counselor to see if we could spot the systemic problems in our public schools that cause LGBTQ+ students to have different experiences from their straight/cis peers. We learned about everyday struggles, from hearing slurs in the hallway to finding a date for prom. We also discussed how inclusive sex education programs are and how comfortable teachers and school staff are when it comes to dealing with LGBTQ+ specific issues. We learned a lot in the process of making this first episode, and we hope that you learn something as you listen. Enjoy!
