Legal support for advocacy on behalf of gay male, lesbian, and bisexual male and female students was determined in a May 1999 Supreme Court ruling. This ruling, coupled with recent interpretations of the Title IX statute, strengthens the position for a more humanistic school environment. Recommendations for school counselors are included in this article. Apoyo legal para la abogacía en nombre de estudiantes homosexuales, lesbianas y bisexuales se determino en una decisión de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos en Mayo de 1999. Esta decisión, en conjunto con interpretaciones recientes del estatuto “Title IX,” intensifica la postura que pide un ambiente más humanístico en las escuelas. Recomendaciones para consejeros escolares se incluyen en este artículo.
