Following @NicolaSturgeon supportive tweet today, we are concerned by misinformation being spread online regarding LGBT-inclusive education in schools. This appears to be focusing on matters related to trans youth, so we’d like to make very clear what the reality is.

LGBT-inclusive education is an overarching term which describes a policy approach of including LGBT themes across various curricular areas: e.g the equal rights movement under Social Subjects, or family diversity or prejudice and stereotypes under Health and Wellbeing. >
The aim is to take an educational approach to tackling homo/bi/transphobia in schools - that is: addressing prejudice, stigma, and otherisation of LGBT youth by ensuring that LGBT themes are visible in the curriculum. Much the same as we do for racism, sectarianism, sexism etc. >
