I was talking about similar to my wife yesterday. I went to an Anglican private school which was already somewhat progressive relative to other religious schools. But in my graduating year there was also only one "out" gay male student. Nowadays the number is much higher and that gay student is now a teacher there.I went to a Catholic private school. From graduating class, we had a single student 'out' while he was at school; after graduation, we now have around 20.
Limiting their expression, constraining who they can be, making them feel excluded is detrimental to their ououtcomes.
There will always be kids who will pick on any other kid who is "different" but I'm glad to see that LGBT students seem to be facing overall less bullying or discrimination these days.
