Over a third (37.8%) of students has experienced physical harassment at school on the basis of their gender expression. Nearly one-fifth (17.6%) of students had been physically assaulted because of their sexual orientation and over one tenth (11.8) because of their gender expression.
It makes a difference to have a place to ask your questions. It matters when you need to discuss coming out. It is critical to have a place to talk when you are dating. nAGLY offers all of this to GLBTQ youth in the region.
