Today in History: Shirley Chisholm visits her opponent George Wallace in the hospital Rep.

LGBTQIA Pride Month
What are some concerns that the LGBTQ people may face at home, at school, and in the community?
Many communities accept LGBTQ people without bias. But some communities do not. For adults and teens, hate crimes, job discrimination, and housing discrimination can be serious problems. For teens, bullying in school also can be a problem. If you are being bullied at school, talk with your parents or another trusted adult, a teacher, or your principal. There also are websites and hotlines where you can be anonymous (see Resources).
