The Worst Part Was Coming Back Home and Feeling Like Crying : Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Students in Portuguese Schools

Introduction

School is often a hostile environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth (Earnshaw et al., ; Kosciw et al., ; Pizmony-Levy and Kosciw, ; Russell and Fish, ; Toomey and Russell, ; Day et al., ; Pizmony-Levy et al., ). In reality, bullying based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity/expression has been identified as a global problem violating sexual and gender minority students&#x; rights and hindering their educational success (UNESCO, ; Pizmony-Levy and Kosciw, ).

Malta has sat on top of the ranking for the last 10 years.

Portugal

Experiencing Portuguese Food

It will arrive as no surprise that in a country with this much coastline, seafood dominates much of the culinary scene. Cod is certainly a favorite &#x; especially the bolinhos de bacalhau, or little balls of cod. Made by frying cod, potatoes, onions and parsley, these cod balls are super simple to find. If fried food isn&#x;t for you, look for the many fish and shellfish options cooked straight in the grill. This cooking style utilizes simple seasonings, allowing the seafood to be the star.

Cured meats meats and rich cheeses are also an important part of the culture. Finding places that offer charcuterie boards with wine pairings make for blissful afternoons. Portugal being the land of meat and fish can make things challenging for vegetarians and vegans alike. In most cases the Portugese come from the more meat the better&#x;&#x; camp. That&#x;s not to say it is impossible to travel there while vegan, just depart into it knowing you&#x;ll have to plan ahead.
