通过戏弄、身体暴力和其他形式的侵犯，对同性恋和跨性别者的欺凌是一个影响各级教育中的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别学生的问题。尽管墨西哥在保护男女同性恋、双性恋和变性人的人权方面做出了法律上的改变，但学校仍然是歧视和暴力侵害他们的普遍场所。2012年，通过一项在线调查，询问参与者的欺凌经历、后果以及成年人的回应，作者收集了912名年龄在30岁以下的参与者的回复，这些参与者自认为是女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋或变性人，居住在墨西哥的32个州。三分之二的参与者说他们在上学期间是欺凌的受害者；这些学生中的大多数表示，他们没有得到老师或家长的支持，以避免或制止暴力。霸凌的后果是逃学、辍学、抑郁和自杀企图。使欺凌行为正常化的态度可能会阻碍教师和家长有效预防或应对恐同和恐跨者欺凌行为。为了消除校园中仇视同性恋的欺凌行为，需要对教师进行性别多样性培训，并为公众开展媒体宣传活动。
Homophobic and transphobic bullying, through teasing, physical violence, and other forms of aggression, is a problem that affects lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students at all levels of education. Even though there have been legal changes in Mexico to protect human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, schools are spaces where discrimination and violence toward them are still common. In 2012, using an online survey asking participants about their experiences with bullying, its consequences, and responses from adults, the authors collected responses from 912 participants younger than 30 years of age who self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender and who lived in the 32 states of Mexico. Two thirds of participants said that they were victims of bullying during their school years; the majority of these students indicated that they did not have support from teachers or parents to avoid or stop the violence. The consequences of bullying were truancy, dropouts, depression, and suicide attempts. Attitudes that normalize bullying may impede the effective prevention of or response to homophobic and transphobic bullying by teachers and parents. To eliminate homophobic bullying in school, there is a need for sexual diversity trainings for teachers and media campaigns for the general public.
