This book provides information that will help LGBT youth overcome their challenges at school, with families, and in their communities, and give non-LGBT youth a better understanding of sexual identities different from their own.

This is the first book designed for university and high school teachers who want to integrate queer history into the standard curriculum. With its inspiring stories, classroom-tested advice, and rich information, it is a valuable resource for anyone who thinks history should be an all-inclusive story. Understanding and Teaching U.S. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender History offers a wealth of insight for teachers.
