ABSTRACT
In many countries, attitudes towards sexual orientation and gender are changing and becoming more positive. Many schools and universities have revised curricula to ensure that non-normative identities are more visible, accepted, and respected. Queering the curriculum is one part of the whole institutional approach to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Educational institutions must also consider ways in which the physical environment and institutional culture can engender a sense of belonging. Institutions need to work in partnership with key stakeholders to develop agency and leaders should embed LGBTQ+ inclusion into strategy, vision, and policy. Despite the strides forward, there is still more work for educational institutions to do to play their part in advancing social justice. Homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia still exist and attitudes towards LGBTQ+ matters across individuals, groups, and societies still vary significantly and therefore our work is not finished.
