This study involved a photovoice project where high school students from a Gay-Straight Alliance in the rural southeastern United States took photographs that depicted the issues LGBTQ students were facing and then exhibited their photographs and stories to individuals from the school system and local community to promote awareness, dialogue, and action METHODS: 20 adults who attended the photovoiceexhibit responded to an online survey about their experiences with the intervention RESULTS: 85% of adults reported that the interventionmade them think about issues they had not previously considered, including the struggles LGBTQ youth face, gender issues, and living in a rural community. Common emotions experienced at the interventionincluded feeling excited, concern for the youth, and proud of the youth. Further, 81% of the adults indicated that they would take action or behave differently as a result of the intervention, including supporting and affirming LGBTQ students, using gender-neutral and -inclusive language, and confronting bias in themselves and others CONCLUSIONS: Photovoice is a promising strategy for LGBTQ students to activate adult allies in their community |
