Despite progress in gay rights, more than nine in 10 LBGT students in Wisconsin reported hearing “gay” used in a derogatory way in 2013, says a newly released climate survey by the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.

More troubling, nearly four in 10 LGBT students have been physically harassed and one in 10 were physically assaulted.

Wisconsin was one of 29 states where middle and high school students were surveyed for the GLSEN report on school climate. You can see a snapshot of state climate for LGBT students here.

“The large number of students who reported hearing anti-LGBT language and who continue to experience verbal and physical harassment in schools in these states is unacceptable,” Eliza Byard, GLSEN’s executive director, said in a news release. “GLSEN calls on everyone in these states and across the country to join us in ensuring students and educators are given the resources and supports to create safe and affirming school environments. All members of the school community need to feel empowered to intervene when others are undermining these efforts.”
