According to the Guttmacher Institute (2013), eight states require that any discussion of sexual orientation in the context of sex education must be “inclusive.” Bittner (2012) found that discussing sexual orientation in school curricula was required in only 12 states, while 3 of those states required educators to emphasize negative associations with non-heterosexual orientations. Specifically, policies limiting access to same-sex sex education and comprehensive sexual health programs disregard the concept of healthy sexuality and positive gender roles, and may exacerbate many of the sexual risk factors (e.g., limited knowledge regarding safer sex strategies with same-sex partners) that place YMSM at greater risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) ( Lindberg, Sonfield & Gemmill, 2008). Stigma and social discrimination create barriers to providing young men who have sex with men (YMSM) with comprehensive sex and sexuality information ( Lindberg, Sonfield, & Gemmill, 2008).
