Preferred term

giftedness and sexuality  

Definition

  • Gifted gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) youth, like their high-potential straight peers, display high potential or excellent performance in various competencies important to schools and communities. These gifted sexual minorities meet federal, professional, and cultural definitions of giftedness at least as frequently as do other students and have access to increasing opportunities for pro-GLBT advocacy and resources in their communities and schools.
