Rejected petition Include non-heterosexual sexual education on the secondary school curriculm
Sex education in secondary school is heteronormative and doesn’t give LGBTQ+ pupils the same level of education about sex as their straight peers. This is preventing some students from gaining essential knowledge simply due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
