To enhance understanding and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community among middle school students in the Palo Alto Unified School District. The purpose is to address the existing gap in acceptance between cisgender heterosexual (cishet) and queer students. Drawing inspiration from Katherina A. Rimes's study, the potential of positive representation in boosting self-esteem among queer students is recognized. Anticipated outcomes include fostering a more inclusive environment and contributing valuable insights to the broader educational community. The findings will be presented at the Foothill Research and Service Leadership Symposium and shared with English and Social Studies teachers in middle and high schools.
