O espaço escolar aparece aqui como uma poderosa instância de reprodução das lógicas homofóbicas. …

Ultimately, students will not excel to their full potential if all of their teachers do not feel safe and fully supported by their workplace environments.

It is suspected they do not, but little quantitative evidence exists in the literature to know whether this is true. This study sought to fill this gap.
