PHOENIX - The Valley now has a high school geared specifically towards lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender students.

It's the first of its kind in Arizona and one of only a handful in the entire country.

Tyler, a junior at the school, recently enrolled at Q High , seeking a more tolerant environment to go to school in after dealing with bullies at a previous high school.

"Everyone here is open and welcoming," said Tyler. "Everyone says hi, everyone wants to know you."

Q High opened its doors last month in the hopes of catering to students like Tyler.
