摘要
Parents are key stakeholders in their children's sex education, but previous research has predominantly focused on heterosexual parents' experiences discussing sex and sexuality with their children, resulting in a lack of information on LGBTQ+ parents and their children. This project examined open-ended responses to an online survey from 45 LGBTQ+ parents discussing their experiences talking with their children about sex and sexuality. LGBTQ+ parents focused on open and honest discussions, normalizing sexuality for their children, and emphasizing consent. Parents also discussed who initiated conversations, the impact of their own sex education experiences, and preparing for these conversations in a variety of ways.
