| Name: PFLAG: Youth and Schools Description: Making schools in our nation safe for all youth, but particularly for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) young people, has long been among PFLAG's top priorities. In 2000, PFLAG launched its multi-year From Our House to the Schoolhouse safe schools campaign because we recognize that schools are "ground zero" in our efforts to curb homophobia. GLBT youth, or those perceived to be, face unspeakable harassment and abuse in schools and are too often effectively denied access to a safe and equal education opportunity. The school culture that fosters and sustains this hostile environment impacts all students negatively.
