Bullying and harassment threatens the safety, learning, and personal growth of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) students in many high schools in the United States.

Boys who sing in school are often marginalized, taunted, sometimes called "gay." What if "singer" is someone's whole identity, and that person also happens to be gay? This autoethnography (Ellis, 2004) is a story of the education and development of such a singer and how, within this context, a voice teacher with an empowering…
