Evaluate the drafted changes
From what you told me in your email, I really like your plan. I think those are all important sections that could use development. I'm having trouble coming up with specific suggestions for the "among minority groups" and "background" sections, but I have some basic ideas for the "evidence" section.

The evidence section on the sex education Wikipedia page talks a decent amount about pregnancy rates, although it also discusses many other important issues. I don't think talking about effects on pregnancy really makes sense for LGBT sex education, but you can include information similar to the other parts of that section, but specific to LGBT sex education rather than sex education in general. Specifically, I think it would be good to look for evidence on how LGBT sex education affects rates of STIs (especially HIV) among LGBT young people, as well as how it affects rates of homophobia and transphobia among people who receive it.

If you can find studies for it, maybe talk about whether or not it makes kids who receive it more likely to be LGBT? It seems obvious that it doesn't (although it may make them more likely to come out) and, like, who cares even if it did; but I'm sure some conservative parents are worried that learning about LGBT people will "turn" their kids gay the same way that they're worried that learning about contraception will make their kids have sex. Because of this, I think it could be useful to include, similar to the way the evidence section on the sex education article mentions that sex education discussing contraception has been found to not increase sexual activity.
