Historical Note

This zine was produced in 2022 by three social work students at Portland State University as a response to sex education instruction in Oregon. Although the state developed the sex education curriculum to be inclusive, the zine's creators believed many schools in Oregon still either left out information or taught the curriculum in a way that included homophobic and transphobic undercurrents. The zine was distributed at the 2022 Pride parade in Astoria, Oregon.
