Sex Education and the Queer Community

A lack of inclusive questions in the 2021 census left LBGTQ+ people feeling excluded. It begged the question, how much does our country really value the queer community? To dive deeper, we took at look at sex education. How can all young Aussies feel included in the classroom?
The passing of the same sex marriage bill in 2017 was a huge moment for Australia’s LGBTQ+ community. But how much has really changed since then? Next episode, we take a deep dive into Australian classrooms to discuss a topic that makes every teenager squirm: sex education. Studies have shown these formative lessons on identity, sexuality, life and love often fail to include queer students, with major consequences. Join us as we speak to students and experts on how this affects Australians.

All episodes are written, researched, recorded and produced by students of the RMIT Graduate Diploma in Journalism.
