My school was great for LGBT people, one of my friends is trans and was out to the teachers (pre t and everything and they even knew him as 'she' before he came out) and they respected his identity (if they remembered).We also had an LGBT club, though I do think that being an LGBT junior is worse than being a LGBT senior since when you get older you learn more respect anyway.
i have just started going to a catholic school and there is surprisingly nothing about the lgbtq+ community anywhere. it doesn’t feel accepting at all tho, and i feel unsupported whenever i’m there, especially as there are homophobic students
i'm to a public school, where all LGBT+ ppl are hated and discriminated and closed in the bathrooms and the target of the jokes. Just my best friends from the class know that I'm lesbian.the teacher never ask for our pronous. and since I'm using she/them, I'm feeling so horrible and discriminated when the teacher us 'her' for me
I never officially came out to anyone at school really, my close friends new about it (at the time I thought I was pan) but I don’t think it was a known thing in my class. But at my graduation trip I kissed a girl in front of some guys that were in my class and it was just the worse I could hear them talking about and it was really anticlimactic. After that I had a talk on the bus to the hotel with an old friend of mine (we were never really close and his very religious so is his family, they were friends with my parents as well) and I just remembered feeling very judge about it he was like "Oh you like girls, is a feminist and don’t eat meat you must be the worse at family gatherings". And first of all wft? and second I just feel so bad with myself that after that I regretted kissing that girl even though I wanted and was having fun prior to that.
So after that unfortunate event I never had any problems at school, but I always heard homophobic slurs (never directed at anyone in particular but non the less), I understand not every school is like that I just wish everyone stay safe out there <3
I was very lucky that I went to very accepting schools. The only issue that I encountered is that I didn't get my first crush until I was 14 and by that time, everyone else in my grade knew their sexualities so when I revealed my crush to people, there was a label attached to me based on my crush's gender. I felt restricted and I felt like I had to force myself to feel things for only that gender because of the label. When I started taking online courses, there wasn't the constant pressure of seeing people every day who had assigned this label to me and I was able to explore myself and figure out who I really am.

In my school people don’t really care, but when I came out as Pan, I got picked on, constantly. But my safe haven was my friend group, we are all LGBQT+ or supporters at least.
It was worse when I came out as Non Bi, the people at my table in 6th period laughing at me and not calling me by my preferred name, I only have two friends in that class.
at my school we have a LGBT club and safe space, our school is cool we have a pride march annually for LGBT rights and next week Thursday we are doing a diversity training workshop, to address queerphobia,racism and gender inequality.
For me, I have a whole group of the Pride community for friends so school for me is the only place i can be myself. My bro is homophobic and my dad is too at the smallest degree
My school is very accepting, which I'm super grateful for. I have 2 non-binary teachers and 1 gay one. At the beginning of the school year, we were asked our pronouns everyday. I made so many friends who I didn't even know were queer. It's such an easy community and so friendly. I started a queer group that meets every Monday after school. :)
