Did respondents want the school to do more to support and include LGBTQI students and families during marriage equality debate?
- 78% said Yes, 9% said No, 13% said unsure.
What additional things would they have liked the school to have done?
The main theme in answers to this question was to show additional proactive and visible support for the LGBTQI community (e.g. rainbow flags, posters, supportive statements in newsletters, celebrate days like IDAHOBIT). Respondents also wanted schools to take an active role in the education of the school community about:
- the harm of anti-LGBTQI attitudes and behaviour, and
- correcting the misinformation in the media about the Safe Schools unit and 'All of Us' program.
- And of course, respondents very much wanted the schools to do these things without LGBTQI families having to ask for it again, and again, and again.
