Supporting the goals and ideals of the month of May as Sex Ed For All Month: Equity and Access for All.
H. Res. 445 is a House resolution that publicly supports May as Sex Ed For All Month and urges action to ensure inclusive, honest, and comprehensive sex education for all young people. It frames sex education as a critical tool for addressing health disparities, improving outcomes (like pregnancy and STI rates), and promoting equity for LGBTQ students and youth of color. While it does not itself create laws or require curricula, it calls on public officials, state and local governments, schools, health agencies, and other stakeholders to advocate for and invest in evidence-informed, comprehensive, and culturally responsive sex education, and it urges ongoing professional development for educators and youth-serving professionals. The resolution emphasizes that sex education should be accurate, confidential, developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed, and focused on consent, health, and empowerment. It also discourages programs that withhold information, are medically inaccurate, or reinforce stereotypes. Overall, it seeks broad support and action to expand access to inclusive sex education across communities.
