Yesterday was Pride Night at the Museum! Hundreds of attendees celebrated LGBTQ+ contributions to science, culture, and the natural world. Visitors explored the Museum’s Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, mingled over drinks and food, participated in STEM trivia, and enjoyed an after-hours party with music and visualizations from OpenSpace.

New article with Cathy A. R. Brant out now--available online and in print soon. Before Stonewall: Early LGBTQ+ Activism in Philadelphia, in Social Studies and the Young Learner. In this article, we present two curated text sets, each featuring a primary source analysis activity to engage upper elementary students in an examination of LGTBQ+ activism in Philadelphia between 1965 and 1969 as part of a larger unit on civil rights activism in the United States. Through engagement with the text sets shared in this article, students are encouraged to build understanding of LGBTQ+ history and make connections between organizers’ efforts and the work of Black civil rights advocates who inspired LGBTQ+ activists. Thus, teachers and students can learn not only about LGBTQ+ people and Black civil rights activists, but also directly from them through primary and secondary sources.

"According to the 2019 GLSEN Arkansas School Climate survey, about 40% of Arkansas students say they have access to LGBTQ-related library resources at school. Just 6% of Arkansas students say they were taught positive representations of LGBTQ people, history, or events at school. A collection of texts that positively represent LGBTQ+ characters and historical figures is critical for any school to be an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students and those with LGBTQ+ family members." ~GLSEN Have you requested a Rainbow library? Arkansas is one of 33 states that can request and receive a free Rainbow Library! The next sendoff of library collections is happening soon (Spring 2024). https://lnkd.in/g4JMwNJ7

If you want to know why I joined the GLSEN board, this video should explain the reasons and how you can help too.
33 years ago, in response to the boldness and bravery of queer youth in schools, GLSEN was founded by a group of teachers. As of today, we have reached millions of students across the country. Thank you to our community of advocates and allies for rising up and showing up for LGBTQ+ Youth. It’s people like you who are making history.
