The Golden Rainbow: A concise look into the LGBTQ community

By Tamara Hibbert

Growing up can be hard. Growing up identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) is even harder, according to national data.
Young people in the LGBTQ community face higher rates of rejection, violence, suicide and homelessness when compared to their general population peers. LGBTQ youth are also overrepresented in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems and more likely to drop out of school than their fellow classmates. This post defines some common terms - and promotes the use of accurate, authentic and inclusive language - so that social workers, educators, foster parents and others are better equipped to support LGBTQ youth, serve as their advocates and help them thrive.
