BSEP - Introducing the Broward Stonewall Education Project

The best resource for information on LGBTQ issues whether it be history, culture, literature or art in the nation is right here in Broward County, the Stonewall National Museum and Archives (stonewallnationalmuseum.org) which includes the Stonewall library, the largest LGBTQ lending library in the world. The library contains over 21,000 volumes and the museum has over 20 exhibits that have traveled to businesses, organizations, universities, and many other educational venues all over the U.S. as well as artifacts such as the gavel that was used to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell and Martina Navritalova's tennis racket.

What other institution would be better suited as the resource for educating youth on LGBTQ issues, preventing bullying and teen suicides? That is why the Stonewall has partnered with the Broward County Schools in the Broward Stonewall Education Project to take advantage of a national resource and educate our youth. 

The Broward Stonewall Education Project or BSEP's mission statement is:

"to courageously transform community through inclusive collaborations that result in comprehensive LGBTQ educational experiences. We envision a safe community in which all human beings are and feel accepted for who  they are, honored for their uniqueness and appreciated and valued for their contributions."

The problem has been staring us in the face for since the beginning of recorded human history. This is a unique effort that is not just local but national in scope. It is about time we did something about it, www.thekidsarenotallright.org, coming soon.
