性教育的有效性受到质疑，因为学生在完成学业后参与不安全性行为的比例很高。在没有探索各种性少数群体（SM）身份的情况下（例如，男同性恋、女同性恋和双性恋）和性形式，性教育可能对SM特别无益，因为它使异性恋规范（即，假设异性恋是正常的）他们通常经历的环境。在本定性研究中，半结构式访谈进行了12 SM关于他们的经验与性教育使用扎根理论的方法。参与者将性教育描述为异性恋和排斥他们的身份，使他们感到无形，性准备不足和可耻。据报道，性教育也有助于性犹豫，性暴力和危险的性行为。参与者认同抑郁、焦虑和自杀倾向的历史，这通常与他们的身份有关。为了变得更加知情和性准备，他们通过与他人交谈，在线搜索，大学课程和尝试错误的性经验来寻求信息。与会者还倡导包容性性教育，将所有身份和相关的安全性行为纳入其中。他们的结论是，课程的包容性可以为SM带来各种改善的结果，例如安全性行为，社区感，身份自信，健康的关系和复原力。
The efficacy of sex education has been questioned, as students participate in high rates of unsafe sex after completion. Without exploring various sexual minority (SM) identities (e.g., gay, lesbian, and bisexual) and forms of sex, sex education may be especially unhelpful for SMs by perpetuating the heteronormative (i.e., assuming heterosexuality is normal) environment they typically experience. In the present qualitative study, semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 SMs regarding their experiences with sex education using a grounded theory approach. Participants described sex education as being heteronormative and exclusive of their identities, making them feel invisible, sexually unprepared, and shameful. Sex education also reportedly contributed to sexual hesitance, sexual violence, and risky sexual behaviors. Participants endorsed histories of depression, anxiety, and suicidality, often associated with their identity. To become more informed and sexually prepared, they sought information through conversations with others, online searching, college courses, and trial and error sexual experiences. Participants also advocated for inclusive sex education, which would incorporate all identities and associated safe sex practices. They concluded that inclusivity in curricula could lead to various improved outcomes for SMs, such as safe sex, a sense of community, identity confidence, healthy relationships, and resilience.
