The Impact of Language on LGBTQ+ Teens: A Call for Awareness

Language shapes our experiences and perceptions. The systematic looting of nuanced language results in harmful phrases that contribute to the subjugation of marginalized communities. A staggering 85% of LGBTQ+ teens have heard the phrase “That’s so gay” in schools, with 56% reporting slurs used by teachers or staff. This pervasive negativity fosters a culture of victimization among LGBTQ+ youth. It is crucial to recognize and address the damage caused by derogatory language to create safer, more inclusive environments in our educational institutions.
