THIS I BELIEVE AND IT IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO

Everyone should have the right to:

• make decisions about their own sexual lives.

• participate in any type of sexual behaviors as long as they do not intrude on the sexual rights of others.

• be free from all forms of discrimination regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, race, social class, religion, or physical and emotional disability.

• experience sexual pleasure, including self-pleasuring, as a source of physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual well-being.

• marry or not, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

• decide whether or not to have children and the number and spacing of children.

• access contraception that is affordable and of their choosing.

• access medically accurate sexual information based upon scientific inquiry.

• experience comprehensive sexuality education from birth and throughout the life cycle.

• receive sexual health care for prevention and treatment of all sexual concerns, problems, and disorders.
