Kyson Ercanbrack: 'It’s time for Utah decision-makers to address the increasing mental health challenges that the LGBTQ community is facing by making public education and public services as a whole more inclusive and affirming to everyone.'
that of the national average and it only gets worse as you look at the impact on the LGBTQ community.to die by suicide than their heterosexual peers in Utah, while transgender youth are eight to 10 times more likely. This is an issue that has been disregarded for too long due to long-time lack of support and discrimination towards populations disproportionately impacted by suicide.
As queer book bans, anti-trans education policies, and “Don’t Say Gay” bills creep into state legislatures across the country, including Utah, the LGBTQ mental health crisis in schools is only worsening. These insensitive policies do nothing to address discrimination and inclusivity in schools. Instead, these policies directly contribute to the high rate of suicidality among the LGBTQ community.
To combat Utah’s lack of inclusivity and the alarmingly high rates of LGBTQ suicidality, Utah must take steps to make the school system inclusive of all identities. One step is the implementation of LGBTQ inclusive policy in school. This could include anti-harassment and discrimination policies, as well as supportive transgender and non-binary policies.
