Sex education (specifically for LGBT students)

The lack of comprehensive sex education is more harmful to LGBT students as there are less resources for them to find on their own.

Are current sex education standards able to keep up with the modern identities and ideologies?


 * 1) How do levels of sex ed vary between states/countries?
 * 2) How often is homosexuality mentioned in sex ed?
 * 3) Is there curriculum available but not in use that treat gender identities equally?

First Draft

Pro-LGBT Sex Education In programs where LGBT sex education is not covered, LGBT students are more likely to have riskier sex, resulting in higher rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, as well as pregnancy in both boys and girls. This problem does not occur as frequently for LGBT students that are in programs that cover LGBT sexual issues. Additionally, LGBT students who do not receive specialized sex education are more likely to search online for other resources which may not be safe or correct.

Anti-LGBT Sex Education Some who oppose LGBT sex education claim that it will force a sexuality onto children; however, research shows that inclusive education does not change sexual orientation, but it does reduce LGBT harassment in schools.
