Gender-affirming closet at Missouri high school gets $10K grant so LBGTQ students can wear clothes that reflect their gender identities without parents knowing

A gender-affirming closet is moving forward at a Missouri high school, and officials and advocates say it will allow LGBTQ students to wear clothes at school that reflect their gender identities, especially if they don’t feel comfortable wearing such clothes at home.

Columbia Public Schools Board of Education accepted and approved a $10,000 grant Monday to create the gender-affirming closet at Rock Bridge High School, KMIZ-TV reported, adding that the money will come from the It Gets Better Project.
