Coming into a queer education
This article examines an intergenerational, community-engaged LGBTQ + educational project that supports participants ‘coming into’ queer knowledges, histories, and practices. Amid curricular inclusion efforts and backlash in U.S. education, the project brought together LGBTQ + people aged 19–82 over six years for sustained intergenerational dialogue. Grounded in queer, feminist, and trans theories and informed by ethnographic and anecdotal approa…
Navigating cultural change together in an LGBTQ+ intergenerational community in Chicago
Over the past several decades, the social, cultural, and political landscape framing the possibilities for LGBTQ+ lives has changed significantly in the United States. These shifts have produced distinct generations of LGBTQ+ people. In 2019, we developed The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project to bring together LGBTQ+ generations for dialogue, storytelling, artmaking, and shared meals. Each year, 15 youth (ages 18–30) and 15 elders (60+) m…
Pathways to queer thriving in an LGBTQ+ intergenerational community
LGBTQ+ people and communities continue to survive and thrive within the context of complex and unrelenting personal, structural, and collective trauma. Psychological research has examined this adaptive capacity through frameworks of resilience and posttraumatic growth. Through multidisciplinary engagement, we have identified limitations of these frameworks when they are applied to LGBTQ+ communities. In the first half of this article, we reconcep…
Rainbows and Mud
While an increasing awareness of the economic, legal, emotional, social, and physical precarity of LGBTQ+ people has sparked new laws, policies, and medical and social services, their epistemic needs are just as urgent. For many decades, young people growing up in the United States have been systematically denied access to LGBTQ+ histories, knowledges, and older adults through homophobic and transphobic gatekeeping within education, community, an…
Secularisms, sexualities and theology
When we began to conceptualise the introduction to this themed symposium in Sex Education journal our initial instinct was fairly defensive. This came from, upon discussion and reflection, a bit of
Embracing queer heartache
In this article, we reflect on the role of heartache during the first 2 years of The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project. The project—a partnership between an LGBTQ+ community center, an art and design college, and a public research university—brings together racially, socioeconomically, and gender diverse cohorts of LGBTQ+ young (18–26 years old) and older adults (62–81) for dialogue, creative collaboration, and shared dinners. The project…
Educating tensions between religious and sexuality discourses
We not only live with those we never chose, and to whomwe may feel no social sense of belonging,but we are also obligated to preserve those livesand the plurality of which they form a part.Judith B
Re-Reading Lawrence/Leticia/Latisha King
In the current paper, the author offers a philosophically informed history of the present to address the evolving intersections of gender identity and sexuality within the K-12 student body. The author returns to the case of Lawrence/Leticia/Latisha King, a murdered middle schooler, to unpack the evolving frames that have been developed since King’s murder in 2008. To do this, the author addresses the ways King’s name and clothing choices were us…
The Emergence and Persistence of Queerness
In this article, the authors explore the work of becoming queer within the Millennial generation. Collaborative in nature, their investigation turns to three key popular-culture texts of the 1990s-Will & Grace, Rent, and MTV's Spring Break-that were central to their then-emerging sense of self. Staged as an intragenerational conversation, the authors look to create space to unpack the connections, anecdotal by design, between popular texts and ch…

Corrupting Conversations with the Marquis de Sade
Intimately Bound to Numbers
The GLBTQ research community has become, in some ways, bound to using quantification within their arguments about the changes that are being recommended for schools and the lives of GLBTQ youth. This article considers the rhetorical nature of quantification when arguing for such changes. This article draws from the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Educational Network’s 2009 National School Climate Survey report, a report that has become central to the …
LGBTQ Youth and Education

The Problems with the Future
This article contributes to work on temporality in education. Challenging the future-oriented focus in contemporary education, the authors question how ideas and assumptions regarding the future—centred on the Child—can set narrow boundaries around children in schools. In carrying out this task, we employ the work of Lee Edelman and John Dewey to examine the educational ramifications of the focus on the future, which we call ‘educational futurism…
Dissenting with queer theory
In this article, the author looks to the work of Jacques Rancière to engage the possibilities in dissensus in queer theory in education. Fatigued of Foucault, bored with Butler, disdainful of Derrida and dumbfounded by Deleuze and Guattari, and just generally tired of feeling bullied into citing particular people and not others, the author attempts to join the growing use of Rancière in queer theory. Questions of queer theory's (or is it theories…
Fashioning a bareback pedagogy
In this paper, the author moves to think through the practice of barebacking to investigate the ways in which sex education fashions subjects and vice versa. Using recent scholarship and the emergence of barebacking, the author thinks through the discourses on this sexual culture and how doing so might allow sex education to move beyond merely thinking about sex to a more risky version of sex education. The author's intentions are to counter-intu…
Beyond Intimaphobia
In this study I suggest ways of thinking through issues of intimacy that have emerged in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries in the USA. I propose a state of intimaphobia in education. However, I move beyond exposing this state of intimaphobia to offer particular readings of two philosophers of intimacy: Michel Foucault and the Marquis de Sade. I argue that these two philosophers provide alternative models of thinking through the …
Country Queers
Exploring the lives of rural lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth and their identity work, Mary Gray's Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in Rural America offers one of the first ethnographic studies of queer rural life in the United States and their use of new media. Throughout, Gray provides various case studies centered on her participants involvement with LGBT politics and media in their rural Kentucky home…
