“Coming Out of the Classroom Closet” discusses the invisibility experienced by many gay and lesbian teachers and students in schools. The compilation investigates issues of gay and lesbian educators in the schools. It includes an inquiry into the history of legal rights and the current status of those rights. School-based intervention and the needs of gay youth are also investigated. There are also inquiries into teacher and school counselor training and what should or might be included into the curriculum. Harbeck compiles a wide variety of voices that help uncover the status of gay and lesbian issues in the schools. Read through the lens of a decade of change and growth, Harbeck's insightful compilation helps serve as a baseline and comparative fodder for more current investigatory work.
