Individuals experience their sexual orientation and gender identity as fundamental pieces of who they are—each person’s expression and identity are deserving of respect. Unfortunately, we live in a country and world that does not live up to this standard. SIECUS views comprehensive sexuality education that includes unbiased information about sexual orientation and gender identity as a vital step toward educating individuals and changing society. In hopes of achieving this goal, we have created multiple resources to educate parents and youth about gender identity and sexual orientation, and policymakers and advocates about the discrimination that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals face.
