The Goal of the Study

The goal of this study (2014-2020) was to video interview LGBTQ families across Ontario about their experiences in public schools and share our findings from these interviews with teachers, community educators, and other LGBTQ families.

The research team gratefully acknowledges the Social Science and Humanities Research Council for its funded between 2016 and 2020.

The study includes:
  • video and audio interviews with 37 LGBTQ parents, youth, and families in seven Ontario cities (Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa, Sudbury, London, St. Thomas, and Acton) and surrounding suburbs and rural communities;  
  • an archive of approximately 300 video clips from the interviews on this website; and
  • a verbatim audio play, called Out at School, which includes direct conversations and monologues from the interviews and three original songs.
  • To read a final report of the study please go to our Publications link.
