Sexuality education in Australian schools continues to struggle in its ability and willingness to address many of the broader social issues associated with sexuality, such as the needs of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) students. Studies involving teachers have demonstrated that a reticence on their part to teach GLBTIQ-inclusive sexuality education is driven by a lack of training in handling ‘sensitive’ issues, a fear of backlash and confusion over their obligations under relevant departmental policies. This reticence may, in part at least, stem from a commonly held inference that the inclusion of queer sexualities is inherently ‘controversial’. There appears to be a tendency for curricula and government directives to ‘juggle’ principles of social justice for marginalised sexualities with ‘risk management’ policies, which seek to screen course content for potential ‘controversy’. Much of this controversy has its roots in the language and rhetoric used to describe and discuss issues dealt with in sexuality education curricula. The paper demonstrates, through the process of ‘languaging’, how the language and rhetoric of controversy and sexuality can be exposed so that they may be better addressed through policy and government directives.

Successivement condamnées par la religion, criminalisées par le droit pénal et finalement médicalisées, les minorités sexuelles ont subi une forte répression institutionnelle. Depuis, les luttes des mouvements gais et lesbiens ont conduit, dans certains pays, à la reconnaissance des droits des homosexuels au mariage et à la parentalité. Toutefois, l’homosexualité est encore trop souvent perçue comme une menace à la tradition et à l’ordre « naturel ». Réunissant les contributions de chercheurs en sociologie, en philosophie, en criminologie, en histoire, en anthropologie, en sexologie et en travail social, cet ouvrage porte sur les multiples modes de régulation institutionnelle et sociale des minorités sexuelles. Tout en exposant les différentes pratiques de répression employées par le passé, les auteurs traitent de sujets contemporains comme l’homophobie dans les écoles et l’homoparentalité. Soulevant des questions de justice sociale, ils rappellent que tous, gais et lesbiennes y compris, sont engagés dans le processus de régulation des minorités sexuelles.

Inside the Academy and Out demonstrates that the pedagogical and theoretical insights offered by lesbian/gay/queer studies can have relevance to a broader social sphere. The essayists represented here come from a wide range of disciplines, including English, education, philosophy, sociology, and women's studies. Their essays are divided into two broad areas: 'Pedagogy and Research' and 'Spheres of Action.' Taken together, they explore teaching and research theory, examining their implications in areas such as AIDS education, social services, law reform, and popular culture.

This provocative anthology brings together a diverse group of well-known feminist and gay writers, historians, and activists. They are concerned not only with current sexual issues-abortion, pornography, reproductive and gay rights-but they also raise a host of new issues and questions: How, and in what ways, is sexuality political? Is the struggle for sexual freedom a complement to other struggles for liberation, or will it detract from them? Has the sexual revolution diminished or enriched the lives of women?
