Current estimates indicate there are more than seven million LGBT parents with school-age children in the United States.

A new report titled: Involved, Invisible, Ignored: The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Parents and Their Children in Our Nation's K-12 Schools, examines and highlights the school experiences of LGBT-headed families - using results from surveys of LGBT parents of children in K-12 schools and of secondary students who have LGBT parents.

It's the first comprehensive report on the educational experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families.
