England has made it compulsory in all high schools within England State. Children were expected to start taking LGBTQ education from October 2020 alongside queer sexual health and positive relationships. The main objective of education is to make teenagers safe, happy, and healthy, according to the Department of Education Spokesperson in England.

The rollout program was reflective of making good friends, having a successful marriage, and developing healthy relationships. Does integrating LGBTQ increase the desire to join the culture or alleviate teenagers from joining it? The majority of states are against LGBTQ, especially America, during the reign of Donald Trump. LGBTQ is perceived as a loss of moral fiber in society and against the natural law of creation. Therefore, the research paper aims to analyze the significance of LGBTQ in the global community and its implications for the entire world.

Embracing LGBTQ education in school is just teaching teenagers about family diversity. Teenagers will acknowledge and understand different marriage patterns between heterosexuals and homosexuals. The education will make the teenagers make vivid decisions on their sexual orientation. Children will know differences and diversities that exist among families and depending on the nature of the education; they will be able to make wise decisions and avoid manipulation from either peers or the government (Johnson & Vanderbeck, 2014). President Obama’s endeavors to promote homosexuality, significantly in Africa fell apart because leaders could not accommodate homosexual culture. Homosexuality is a western culture that has creeping exponentially across the world, but it has received negative critiques from socialism and psychologists. 

Teaching children about the existence of diverse families does not affect the growth and development of children both mentally and physically (Moffett, 2019).  However, teaching children about LGBTQ might make them celebrate the culture and join the movement which will destroy societal morals. Eventually, the study will normalize LGBTQ, which will be destructive-sex and against religious domains. Christians, Muslims, and Jewish, have protested against the existence of LGBT as they perceive it as immoral.

Teaching LGBTQ promotes inclusivity and accepts differences that exist in society. If teenagers accept and accommodate differences in culture, it will reduce discrimination, incredibly homophobic bullying.  Homophobic bullying is one of the most effective forms of bullying among teenagers based on sexual orientation, according to schools in Britain (2020). However, religions across the globe teach homosexuality is sinful, and people should not embrace it at all (Kuhr, 2020). The law protects the view under the protected characteristics of belief or religion. Therefore, children should not be persuaded to integrate LGBT culture. If embracing LGBT practices and lifestyles promotes inclusivity, minority groups should be accommodated and avoid discrimination than promoting LGBTQ practices.

Overall, irrespective of whether LGBTQ practices will promote inclusivity and family diversity in the society, LGBTQ lifestyle should be condemned at all costs. It is against natural law and religious rules confined in the law. Therefore, sex education of LGBTQ should not be embraced; in the long run, it may result in the decay of moral fiber in the society.
