    ABOUT THE JOURNAL

    Stay at the forefront of LGBT youth issues

    The Journal of LGBT Youth is the interdisciplinary forum dedicated to improving of quality of life for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. This quarterly journal (retitled from the Journal of Gay & Lesbian Issues in Education to better reflect the journal’s youth focus) presents peer-reviewed scholarly articles, practitioner-based essays, policy analyses, and revealing narratives from young people. This invaluable resource is committed to advancing knowledge about, and support of, LGBT youth. The wide-ranging topics include formal and non-formal education; family; peer culture; the media, arts, and entertainment industry; religious institutions and youth organizations; health care; and the workplace.

    The Journal of LGBT Youth is presented in concise, jargon-free language, discussing in detail sexual and gender identity issues while seeking effective policies, exemplary programs, and outstanding practices. Reviews and analyses of queer youth subcultures are explored through film and television, blogs and MMOGS, apparel, and music among others. The journal also cultivates the crucial youth perspective by shining a spotlight on writings by LGBT youth and portraits of queer youth artists and their work. The international and multidimensional approach€”and its dedication to the highest quality research and information—make this resource a must-have on the shelf of anyone dealing with youth issues.

    The Journal of LGBT Youth is a sensitive, timely journal that belongs in the library of every school administrator, policymaker, activist, counselor, and educator.
