I think society is built on binary concepts like male/female, white/non-white. I believe that is an oversimplification. #oklaed https://t.co/vqEwzqmZt8

A2) Parents – your kids are following your lead on this. Set the right example. #oklaed

— Angela Clark Little (@angmlittle) July 17, 2017

A2. Using factual information is important. Doesn't have to be political. Don't be afraid to talk about the definitions. #oklaed https://t.co/cJR7yPFhcX

A3: my job as advocate is to be a safe place for kids to share their needs, especially with this topic. I then advocate for them! #OklaEd

With people (students and staff) being bullied and committing suicide, we can't just gloss over LGBTQA+. #oklaed

A4 It is imperative that Ts treat all students w/compassion, empathy no matter their creed, ethnicity or orientation #oklaed

— Jason Bengs (@jasonbengs) July 17, 2017

A4: I tend to stress the need for respectful behavior/speech. Their "acceptance" involves deep seeded ideological changes. #oklaed https://t.co/oGvQ4pcsfP

— Drew Robinson (@FatCatArtist) July 17, 2017

A5: this is just one of many "off the cuff" loaded & derogatory, phrases & terms in our vernacular. Good time to start convos #oklaed https://t.co/Uobk5ME8ao

A6: I would first have a conversation with my admin, with my parents, then students. It's all about open communication. #oklaed

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) July 17, 2017

A6. My building would not be supportive of this. I would probably be called in for a meeting with my A. #oklaed https://t.co/57xU9QQk2r

A8 Compassion, empathy and halting hate filled comments/actions of any kind. This should be offered all Ss #oklaed

— Jason Bengs (@jasonbengs) July 17, 2017

A8 Being a conscientious advocate. Be a voice for the marginalized. Recognize problems and offer solutions to accommodate. #oklaed https://t.co/RsmOBZvOcS

Favorite question and why?

Erin: How can you improve the school experience of LGBTQ students?

Scott: How do you respond to students who say “That’s so gay!”?
