This is brilliant.
This short movie is an excellent depiction of what the world would look like if heterophobia was really an issue. Switching homophobia on its head, to give people a real insight into what its like for many same sex attracted kids today.
Thanks to Adelaide Sexology for passing this on.

Online porn does not influence teen sexual behaviour?
In my FRESH courses I make a point of discussing porn and the impact on teen brains and behaviour. All of the information I have used for this - and in fact have passed on indicatres that there are some destructive forces at work regarding the links between viewing porn and teen behaviour. Well...
Researchers have found that viewing sexually explicit content on the internet or in magazines as a teenager does not influence sexual behavior as much as people think, according to a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
It was believed by many that viewing sexually explicit content could have a negative impact on the sexual behaviors of teenagers. However, not enough research was carried out to come to any concrete conclusions.

Batgirl is lesbian: Her room mate is transgender
Have things changed? Why are sexual diversities being included in modernised comics from such mainstreamers as DC comics? Is this incusiveness based on a belief that diversity is beautiful?Is it based on overcoming oppression?
Have a read of this piece from Adios Barbie.
In addition you may want to listen to this great TED talk 'Born That Way' talking about our made up binary gender limitations.

Being a woman is not a pre-existing condition
This is a clip of president Obama addressing the Planned Parenthood national conference.
This just shows what can happen when we get great leadership and public support for sexual and reproductive health - and the ongoing need for non stop advocacy.

Consider Ageing
Working with young people around sexual health isn't just about being young, taking risks and enjoying sex.
In a comprehensive sexual health and relationships program we should also ask young people to consider ageing and sexuality. Why? Not just because all of us age. Not just out of respect, but also because this can give a mirror to the way media and dominant culture manipulates us as sexual beings. Acceptance of diversity is not just about GLBTIQ issues. It is also about acceptance of ageing sexuality, acceptance of non monagamies, acceptance of POSITVE SEXUALITIES regardless.
Adios Barbie has recently posted a series about ageing and sexuality/body image/beauty/etcetc.
Well worth a look. CLICK HERE Remember teaching moments don't always focus on STIs, condom use and respectful relationships.
