Brazil's religious right, bolstered by conservative president Jair Bolsonaro, are pushing cuts to sex education amid skyrocketing rates of HIV and syphilis.
Brazil is cutting funding for sex education as the country experiences a sharp increase in incidences of sexually transmitted infections .
National legislation promoted by the country's religious right that would limit the teaching of sex education in classrooms is supported by Bolsonaro. Although the law has not been formally adopted, several areas of the country have adopted similar laws at the local level. Bolsonaro himself has a long history of what appear to be extremely anti-gay views. He has stated that he would be"incapable" of loving a hypothetical gay son, and oncethat if he witnessed two men kissing, he"would beat them." When he campaigned for president, he made unsubstantiated claims that a political opponent had created a"gay kit" for schools to"convert" children to homosexuality.
Critics also point out that children are likely to learn about sex, including homosexuality, regardless of whether schools officially teach the subject.
