LGBT young people have been “failed” in the education system in Northern Ireland for many years, it has been claimed. Alexa Moore from the Rainbow Project organisation was giving evidence to assembly members (MLAs) on Stormont’s education committee. MLAs on the committee are carrying out an inquiry into how relationships and sexuality education (RSE) is taught in schools. Ms Moore also said it was important to integrate “LGBT relationships, identities and experiences throughout the curriculum.” “Without exceptionalising it, without making it a ‘OK, so here’s the LGBT content and now we’re going to discuss LGBT people,’” she continued.
