From PFLAG National: Ways to
Promote Inclusive Sexuality Education
(Source: PFLAG FYI:
GLBT-Inclusive Sex Education
- July 2007)
You can promote inclusive
sexuality education is
through educating your
community. Provide
literature to your local
elementary, middle, and high
school administration and
school boards on the
necessity for inclusive
sexuality education, so that
our GLBT loved ones are not
left out of this critical
curriculum. Find parents and
youth who will tell their
stories about why
abstinence-only education
leaves GLBT youth out of the
picture. A great way to do
this is by
joining a Safe Schools
Coalition group in your
area.
Here is a list of literature
you can provide to your
local school boards and
administration on why
abstinence- only education
is not successful, as well
as the comprehensive
education that has been
successful:
