“…Intervention expectations were mainly focused on the teacher in the situation, highlighting that adults, especially those lower in masculine ideology and sexual minorities, might believe there is a need for intervention (Honig & Zdunowski-Sjoblom, 2014). Past researchers have noted that intervention in schools tends to be low because teachers and administrators often ignore incidents of homophobia (Jiménez, 2009). Based on the gender-role strain paradigm, it is possible that although adult support can reduce bullying in schools (Gage, Prykanowski, & Larson, 2014), the strength of traditional masculine ideology impedes efforts to reduce the use of homophobic language among students.…”

In this exploratory study, we examined the influence of traditional masculinity ideology on adults' perceptions of a homophobic slur among youth. Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 vignettes describing an incident in which a 5, 10, or 15-year-old boy overhears the word "fag." Participants then answered questions regarding the acceptability of the word, likelihood of use, and likelihood of intervention by teachers and peers. They also completed the Male Role Norms Inventory-Short Form (MRNI-SF; Levant, Hall, & Rankin, 2013). Age of boys in the scenario affected participants' perception of likelihood to happen and sexual orientation of participant affected intervention expectations. Novel to the study, results indicated that MRNI-SF scores significantly influenced the acceptability of the use of the word "fag," as well as whether participants thought the teacher and peers should intervene. These findings strengthen literature suggesting a connection between endorsement of traditional masculinity ideology and homophobia.

“…Structured "evaluations" of this approach are not available (or in keeping with its paradigm). However, the potential for student and teacher decisions and interactions to alter the course of the curriculum has been affirmed through case vignettes (Jiménez, 2009;Kumashiro, 2002). A key critique of queer is that it can be, and is in some ways, purposely irritating for teenagers.…”

A Sexuality Education Discourses Framework: Conservative, Liberal, Critical, and Postmodern

Sexuality education debates are layered with discourses based on markedly different constructions of sexuality. Rather than seeing these discourses as purely oppositional, this article frames them as complex and varied. It provides a new framework for understanding sexuality education which differentiates 28 discourses by orientation to education, whether conservative, liberal, critical, or postmodern. Their key assumptions, school-based approaches, sexuality frameworks, authorities, and methods are detailed. The article argues the value of considering multiple approaches and postmodern perspectives. This framework provides an introduction to sexuality education for those new to it and a fresh (re)conceptualisation of the field for other readers.

“…More than anything, I wanted them to take the main message out of it, that everyone deserves respect and dignity. (Bert,18 years) Arts-based engagement has been documented and theorised as an effective leadership tool for young people, queer and otherwise (Harris 2012(Harris , 2013aJimenez 2009). The disruptive potential of queering the classroom through the 'bodies and words of [these] queer teachers and students' (172), Jimenez argues, remains high despite the proliferation of happiness and anti-bullying campaigns for schools and queer youth.…”

“…Sexualities scholars have for some time now been problematising the potential of queer pedagogies (Quinlivan 2011), queering classrooms (Jimenez 2009), and popular media and performance in sexualities education (Albury 2013). In this paper, we argue that the contraction of possibilities for effectively addressing gender and sexual diversity in schools is eliciting a dynamic response from the young people themselves, primarily outside of schools.…”

‘It gets narrower’: creative strategies for re-broadening queer peer education

Using collaborative performance ethnography in community-and school-based settings, sex education has the potential to challenge at-risk narratives for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) youth. This paper problematises the youth-led drama project Epic Queer to test the 'queer' potential of youth-driven initiatives at the school and community level, and to reject the singularity of victimised and 'at-risk' narratives so pervasive in sex education internationally about queer youth. By drawing on the It Gets Better Project as an example of widespread but narrowing social media texts encouraging normativity, deferred pleasure and a happiness narrative, this paper argues for the potential of performance-based arts engagement for re-expanding queer youth subjectivities.
