Abstract	The conflict between freedom of religion and freedom of identity and expression in schools remains a controversial topic internationally. As primarily socializing agents, schools reproduce the cultural norms of the communities within which they are embedded. When schools are situated in environments with high levels of religiosity that are non-affirming to gender and sexually diverse youth, the impact is felt within the lived curriculum of individual students. Using narrative inquiry, this study explored this impact and student perceptions of how freedom of religion became a means to justify discrimination and oppression of sexual and gender diverse students and promoted feelings of insecurity and isolation amongst this marginalized group.
