1 Sexuality. It's a hot topic, sure to spark _____________ in any school community. Most

2 teachers and administrators avoid the issue at all costs. Many parents also tend to avoid the issue.

3 This absence of adult support leaves many young people without guidance and accurate

4 information about relationships, physical development, sexual health, and important aspects of

5 their identities. It also creates a hostile school environment for students who do not conform to its

6 heterosexual social hierarchies. There can be a wide variety of reasons for this nonconformity:

7 clothes, hairstyle, body size, makeup and accessories (too much, not enough, the "wrong" kind),

8 and extra-curricular interests. These behaviors are often connected to perceptions of a student's

9 masculinity, femininity, or sexual orientation and often results in a student being excluded and/or

10 targeted for bullying and harassment (California Safe Schools Coalition, 2004; Kosciw & Diaz,

11 2006; Meyer, 2006).

12 One of the most important things to remember when talking about sexuality is that

13 everybody has one. Heterosexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer, and asexual are some of the

14 descriptors used for talking about sexuality and sexual diversity. Although some may argue that the

15 absence of sexual attraction, or asexuality, is not a sexuality, there are advocacy groups and

16 researchers who recognize it as a category of identity and orientation (see www.asexuality.org). A

17 person's sexuality and associated sexual identity intersect and interact with other identities we may

18 have, such as gender, ethnic, class, dis/ability, racial and linguistic. These various identities are

19 important to all discussions and educational initiatives that address diversity.
