In the United States, many adolescents do not have access to comprehensive sexual education, and instead, receive abstinence-only-until-marriage (AOUM) education. Given the current social and political climate in the United States, LGBTQ+ youth are becoming more likely to be excluded from sexuality education curricula and significantly harmed by the flurry of anti-LGBTQ+ bills being introduced into states' legislations. Without receiving access to comprehensive sexuality education, marginalized youth are likely to turn to the Internet and non-conventional sources, thus indicating the need to provide medically accurate, positive, and diverse sexuality education online. The Sex Wrap (TSW) is a sexual health intervention podcast, created and run by licensed sexual health educators of the LGBTQ+ community, that uses the power of the internet and social media to provide evidence-based, comprehensive sexual health information to gender and sexual minorities. This case study collected data from TSW to assess whether the podcast's episodes and social media posts are effective in disseminating comprehensive and LGBTQ+-inclusive sexuality education. The results show that TSW's podcast and social media provide more LGBTQ+-inclusive information than state curricula, and over time engagement with TSW's Instagram posts has been maintained, indicating a consistent number of Instagram users are consuming evidence-based sexual health information. These findings suggest that the TSW podcast, and social media platforms, are useful tools for reaching gender and sexual minorities who have been excluded from traditional sexuality education methods.
