Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) students and their allies face unique challenges of violence and harassment in schools.
SPEAK UP! explores what these students and their allies have done to transform their schools into safer and more welcoming environments. Interviews with students, parents, teachers, administrators and national activists highlight not only the need for transformation, but offer resources and advice for those actively working for change.
Featuring interviews with Judy Shepard, Danny and Julie from MTV's
Real World New Orleans and actor/musician Anthony Rapp, this innovative video offers a powerful look at the ways in which individuals are reclaiming their classrooms and hallways as spaces safe for GLBT students.
