MPs Vote To Support LGBT Inclusive Sex Education

A large majority of MPs in Westminster have voted in favour of new, LGBT-inclusive regulations for Relationships and Sex Education.

The vote, held in the House of Commons on Wednesday 27 March, saw 538 vote in favour and 21 against the first update to the curriculum guidance.


Sex education classes will be adapted according to the pupil's age, with schools ensuring that teaching is "sensitive and age appropriate". Primary school pupils will receive relationships education, while secondary school students will learn about both relationships and sex education. When the topic of various family models is covered, this will include same-sex families. LGBT+ issues, such as damaging stereotypes and sexual orientation or gender, will be taught to older pupils.
