Connecting LGBTQ to Others through Problem Novels: When a LGBTQ Is NOT the Main Character
2008
Overview
In Voices of Diversity (2006), Langer de Ramirez cites the following statistics supplied by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network in 2004: * 81.8% of youth reported hearing homophobic remarks such as \"faggot\" or \"That's so gay\" frequently from other students. * 75.1 % of youth who reported feeling unsafe at school claimed that these feelings were due to either their sexual orientation or how they express their gender. * 23.9% of youth reported frequent verbal harassment in school. * 22.4% of youth reported sometimes, often or frequently suffering physical harassment (being pushed, shoved, etc.) in school due to their sexual orientation. * 16.9% of youth reported some incident of physical assault (being punched, kicked, injured with a weapon) in the past year due to their sexual orientation. * 57.9% of youth reported that they had personal property damaged or stolen in the past school year (85). Despite the educational establishment's interest in the health and well being of its youth, issues of teen homosexuality have not been confronted. [...]the youngest and most vulnerable members of the gay and lesbian community enter puberty and our schools at their own peril (169). Uribe also asserts the wide acceptance of the belief that at least one in every ten in society is homosexual; in fact, this figure has remained consistent over the years. [...]the issue for educators becomes paramount. The impact of Mom's cancer and Jo's alcoholism leads to divorce. Because the women are a same-sex couple, Jo has no biological or legal right to Nick, although he prefers to live with her.
