Include LGBT+ relationships in education & speak for less common sexualities.

What the petition asks
Education is provided on heterosexual relationships but not on any others. Gay and bisexual are briefly touched on in PSHE but not in detail & less common sexualities and genders such as pansexuality, gender non-binary & asexual are not meantioned. It should be compulsory to learn about these too.
From experience, I know that not many people know what pansexuality is. When coming out to my mum, I had to explain to her what my sexuality was. Nobody should have to do that. I first raised this issue at a Kirklees Youth Council meeting, where I found some other people who agreed. We were then advised by Lynn (Outreach Officer) to make an online petition.
