Erasure in Schools
In recent times, there are more schools teaching about heterosexuality and homosexuality, not solely heterosexuality. Support for gay and lesbian people has come to public schools in the form of the Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs). According to John Elia, this can cause harm to students who do not identify with either of those sexualities. Melissa Smith and Elizabethe Payne state that there are several instances that faculty have been silent when it comes to bullying of LGBTQ students.

Examples
In 2013, Tom Daley, Brittish Olympic diver, came out as bisexual. Several media sources supported his decision to tell the world about his sexuality, but they labeled him as "gay" instead of what he said he identified as.
