The educational foundation we offer these students today will impact the success of their, and our, tomorrow." — Gay Calgary Magazine "Cianciotto and Cahill's treatise is an informative and compelling basis for continuing the discussion (especially as regards LGBT students of color) of how best to protect the rights of a vulnerable and largely disenfranchised group." — Publishers Weekly "This book makes a pivotal and substantial contribution to the field that extends beyond the contributions of many other existing resources. ... [W]e recommend this book highly to researchers, school violence professionals, youth workers, educators, and policy makers in hopes that it will serve as a catalyst in our collective efforts to promote the overall health and well-being of LGBT youth." — Journal of School Violence "The authors do an exceptional job of providing a research-based background to contextualize the book around the need to support victims of homophobia in schools." — H.M.
