Sexual culture(s) are an active presence in the shaping of school relations, and LGBTQ issues have long been recognized as a dangerous form of knowledge in school settings. Queer issues in educational domains quickly attract surveillance and have historically often been aggressively prosecuted and silence enforced. This paper examines the intersections of straight allies in promoting an LGBTQ visibility and agency in Australian secondary schools. Drawing on interviews with "straight"-identified secondary students, a narrative methodology was utilized to explore the presence of student allies for making safe schools. Drawing on straight secondary students' responses to LGBTQ issues in their schools, firsthand accounts of intervening in heteronorming school cultures focus on experiences of being an ally to address LGBTQ inclusivity in Australian secondary schools.
性文化在学校关系的形成中积极存在,而 LGBTQ 问题长期以来在学校环境中被视为一种危险的知识形式。教育领域中的酷儿问题很快就会受到监视,并且在历史上常常遭到严厉起诉并被强制噤声。本文探讨了异性恋盟友在澳大利亚中学促进 LGBTQ 可见性和能动性方面的交叉点。通过对“异性恋”身份的中学生进行访谈,采用叙事方法来探索学生盟友为营造安全学校所发挥的作用。根据异性恋中学生对其学校中 LGBTQ 问题的回应,对干预异性规范学校文化的第一手叙述聚焦于作为盟友在澳大利亚中学解决 LGBTQ 包容性问题的经历。
