Our Story & Why You Should Support Us

For over a decade, The Broom Closet Inc. has been connecting youth and educators to promote diverse and respectful learning communities that celebrate and nurture queer youth. 

Today, youth connect in online communities in real and meaningful ways. In fact, the unique innovativeness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people has lived at the forefront of social networking and online environments. 

We know that there remains an achievement gap for queer youth today. Their academic performance suffers as a result of bullying and harassment from their peers, teachers, and even their families.
