Routledge LGBTQI Parented Families and Schools Book

This Routledge publication explores the lived experiences of LGBTQI+ parents and their children within the school system. By looking at how these families interact with educational institutions, the text examines how schools provide support or fail to meet the needs of children from diverse family structures. Moving beyond traditional studies of gay and lesbian parenting, this research includes the perspectives of bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and intersex parents. The book uses empirical research to bring the actual voices of both parents and children to the forefront of the academic conversation. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how external factors like media representation, legislation, school inspection frameworks, and pressure groups influence the educational environment. This book serves as a vital resource for those studying gender and sexuality in education, providing a comprehensive look at visibility and representation in modern schooling.
