Abstract
ABSTRACT Topics like the LGBTQ+ community are often left out of teacher preparation or ongoing professional development in education. This is especially problematic in very conservative areas where local policies and legislation are often antagonistic towards the LGBTQ+ community. This leaves teachers serving LGBTQ+ students feeling underprepared and seeking ways to better meet the needs of students. Based on findings from a pilot study, this think piece offers a suggestion for providing teachers with the information they need and want, even if they are working in a more conservative area. By tapping into the natural empathy found in teachers, the right type of professional education can improve school environments for students if properly enacted.
