Abstract	In recent years, LGBT case law and legislation has evolved in ways that significantly impact the everyday experiences of students and employees in the K-12 context. However, uncertainties remain and the fight for full equality continues. Understanding the legal landscape is crucial to being an effective advocate for change. This article examines specific legal issues recently addressed by courts, the U.S. Department of Education, and legislators--bullying and harassment, student speech, access for transgender students, and employment-related issues.
