Abstract
Schools are heteronormative and gendernormative spaces that reinforce a narrow range of experiences and identities. Creating classroom spaces that empower LGBTQ+ identities is critical in supporting K-12 learners to become thoughtful and empathetic learners. LGBTQ+ students continue to experience bullying, stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization. This chapter focuses on supporting pre-service teachers' understanding of how to queer classroom spaces through the integration of intersectional children's and YA literature that affirms LGBTQ+ identities and experiences. Bishop's framework of mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors is used with the addition of prisms. The prism provides a critical action to expand the notion and expectation of normal through intersectional representation.
