Section 2: Thesis Statement

LGBT studies need to be included as part of the sex education programs in schools in order to promote equality between the scholars and to give the LGBT scholars a voice. LGBT studies also help in the fight against sexually transmitted diseases.

Section 3: Starting Draft

All people have a right to equality regardless of their religion, race, or sexuality. Furthermore, education does not have to be limited to particular people. Even though sex is a naturally occurring human behaviour, the society has an obligation to guide and educate the younger generation on matters concerning inclusivity and medical and biological issues about sex. Having this education enables the youth to make smart choices concerning their sexual partners and activities.

If all students are subjected to LGBT education, it will help in eradicating mistreatment and misconceptions about the LGBT community. Incorporation of LGBT education in the curriculum would promote tolerance and reduce the risk of stigmatization and discrimination in schools and consequently in the community in general. According to studies, LGBT individuals have a higher risk of suffering from depression and committing suicides.
