Helping Students Understand and Accept Sexual Diversity.
Sears, James T.
Educational Leadership, v49 n1 p54-56 Sep 1991

When presenting heterosexual mechanics, most health classes bypass homosexuality, safer sex practices, abortion ethics, and birth control methods. Honest dialogue is needed. (21 references) (MLH)
