This one-time class has FRESH and NEW material EVERY YEAR! 🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈 Pull out your Pride flags, put out your Pride decorations, and put on your Pride clothes and hats! Let's celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride Month together! Stonewall, Marsh P. Johnson, Harvey Milk, and so much more to learn about! This is a fun and wonderful introduction to LGBTQIA+ Studies! Bring snacks and dress in PRIDE gear, it's a party! 🏳️⚧️ The LGBTQIA+ rights movement in the United States has seen huge progress in the last century, especially in the last two decades. Laws prohibiting homosexual activity have been struck down; lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual individuals are now allowed to serve openly in the military, and same-sex couples can now legally get married and adopt children in all 50 states. But it has been a long and bumpy road for LGBTQIA+ rights proponents, who are still advocating for employment, housing, transgender rights, and so much more. More work has yet to be done. We will begin by students sharing what they know about LGBTQIA+ culture and history. We then begin to watch many short videos about Pride Month, the LGBTQ+ Community as a whole, the different parts of our community, and a little LGBTQ+ history. After each video, I ask a discussion question or two and we have a conversation about the video. We'll also play Mad Libs and a Kahoot! 🌈 By learning about Pride Month, we learn more about different cultures, and especially history, as well as not only tolerance but acceptance and understanding.

Parental Guidance
High School students will need to have a certain level of maturity and a very open mind as well as a desire to learn in this class. We discuss gender, sexual expression, transgender, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, pansexuals, intersexual, questioning, queer, ace (asexual), biromantic, gay marriage, drag queens, drag kings, bullying, criminal justice, juvenile justice, the equal rights movement, HIV/AIDS, racial issues, activism, historical riots, and other important topics related to the LGBTQIA+ community. Some videos or images may contain photos such as homosexual artworks, particularly from past centuries as we study history, protests, riots, and other material such as it relates to the LGBTQIA+ history and community.
All students are warmly welcome to take this class and participate regardless of gender (or nongender) sexual orientation, or sexual identity as long as there is mutual respect for one another. Any hate speech will not be tolerated as this is a safe space for all.
I highly recommend my class "Appreciating LGBTQ+ Studies, Culture, & History for Teens Part 1 of 2" as the next step in learning about the LGBTQIA+ Community!

FROM OUTSCHOOL...
We stand with learners. We are all learners.
At Outschool, we commit to standing with all learners by fostering a diverse and multicultural community, where differences are honored, welcomed, and accepted. With education as the catalyst and technology as the tool, we are uniquely positioned to connect learners to experiences that broaden their understanding of themselves and the world around them through our collective love for learning.
At Outschool, we strive to be OUTstanding by fostering a global online community, elevating unique voices, and transforming the way we work and learn.
At Outschool, we are all learners. We are curious and continuously interrogate the inequities created by systemic oppression on education and learning. We have the opportunity to evolve education by creating a marketplace that reflects and respects the lived experiences of historically ignored communities.
This work is never done. To ensure equity across multiple lines of difference and experiences, we maintain a bias toward transformative action.
Here’s what action looks like for Outschool.
Diversity
We intentionally include fair representation of different social identities–including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, social class, physical ability or attributes, and learning needs.
Equity
We implement processes to ensure inclusion and procedures to eliminate barriers or imbalances that keep community members from having equal opportunities.
Inclusion
Outschool cultivates an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
Belonging
We create a sense of connection through meaningful experiences by connecting people, ideas, and resources.
While our open community is our greatest source of strength, it also brings challenges. It is important to us that Outschool is a safe space for our users. Our members should treat each other without bias or prejudice across all pillars of diversity including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, and gender identity. Down below are Outschool's Parent and Learner guidelines that we ask our members to observe. Outschool members who do not meet these guidelines will be removed from the site.
PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Learners should only attend class under their own enrollment, as themselves. It violates Outschool policy for a learner to use their sibling’s or another learner’s enrollment to attend class. Learns may only join a live meeting by using the green button in their class on their Outschool Learner Account. Educators are forbidden from sending links and passwords to Zoom live meetings.
2. Ask questions of teachers to clarify any missing details about classes, important information about your learner, and fill out your learner's profile such as age, gender preference, and any notes that the educator may need to know about your learner so they may help your learner throughout the class.
3. Make sure your learner shows up for their class; many classes depend on group conversation, and the absence of a single student can have a big impact. If a learner must miss a live meeting please have them notify their educator via a private message under the Teacher tab in their learner account as soon as possible, or you may notify the educator under the Message tab on your parent account.
4. Provide constructive feedback and reviews about your class experience, for the benefit of the teacher and other parents. The same goes for private messages.
5. Engage in civil conversation, and speak and act with respect for different opinions. Check for private messages from your learner's educators and respond promptly. All communication must take place and stay on Outschool.
6. Help keep Outschool a safe space for learners, families, and teachers from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations. To that end, we encourage you to watch our Trust and Safety Code of Conduct video with your learner. Learners may not share personal information such as email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, gamer tags, social media, etc.
LEARNER CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Join the class on time and be ready to learn. Have all of the tools, textbooks, handouts, notes, or anything else the educator has asked of you ready to go before class starts.
2. Be kind: Help all learners feel welcome and included. Give positive feedback to your fellow classmates.
3. Be safe: Keep your personal information private and never ask other learners for theirs (e.g., email address, mailing address, phone number, gamer tags, etc.). All communication must take place and stay on Outschool.
4. Be respectful: Treat others how you want to be treated. Dress in a manner appropriate for class; please be fully clothed with both a top and bottoms on and sit upright for the class. Treat the teacher and your classmates with respect.
5. Engage & Participate: Contribute to a class environment in a way that is safe and welcoming for learners and teachers from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations. Take responsibility for making each class a great learning experience for yourself and your classmates: participate, stay on topic, and avoid distractions. Check for private messages from your educator and respond back promptly.
OUTSCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. We welcome members from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations and are committed to creating a safe space for our users across all pillars of diversity.
2. We will listen to feedback from parents, teachers, and learners, and make changes accordingly. Send an email to support@outschool at any time!
3. We will create and enforce policies to create a high-quality, trusted, and safe community for learning. This may include removing content or users from the platform.
4. We will respond promptly to questions and issues that arise.
TEACHER CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Offer classes only where you have the appropriate background or expertise.
2. Teach classes professionally:
3. Be prepared, begin on time, and treat all learners with respect.
4. Do not teach while impaired and do not model any behavior that a student age 18 or younger is restricted from doing.
5. Respond promptly to parent questions and requests.
6. Communicate with parents and learners in a professional manner, both in messages and in-class.
7. Keep all communications on our platform; never provide personal contact information to parents or learners for “off-platform” communications, or in-person meetings (prohibited unless an Outschool-sponsored event).
8. Adhere to our class content policy by only offering secular, objective, age-appropriate classes
9. Create a safe and welcoming space for learners and families from all backgrounds, beliefs, and locations.
Supply List
Bring snacks, beverages, and wear your Pride gear! It's a party after all! No materials other than paper and pen are needed for this class, and a desire to have fun learning. Respect and an open mind (and heart) are required for this class. No hate speech will be tolerated. I would suggest a headset or earbuds with a microphone, a comfortable place to learn, and some water in case they become thirsty as there are no breaks during this class.

As a Social Sciences teacher, I enjoy educating students about different holidays, their true meanings, their history, and their significance. In all of my Social Studies classes, I have taken a day out of the normal routine to explain and educate students about significant dates from a historical perspective, such as LGBTQ+ Pride and History months. I am also a member of the LGBTQIA+ Community too. Reviews
