Most sex education today has an underlying set of heterosexual assumptions. It ignores the educational needs of lesbian women and gay men. So deeply are these assumptions engrained through-out the fields of sex education, that most sex educators are unaware of the heterosexist nature of their courses and texts. In such an atmosphere, homosexuality is frequently portrayed in ways suggesting that gay men and lesbian women are less than fully human and choose to be that way. This article discusses the implications of heterosexist sex education.
