The journey that led to So Close, Yet began when a student shared a video performance of a slam poem by Sainee Raj called "Sex Ed for Adults." This started a conversation about how sex education in the United States often fails women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We shared our own experiences and the ways in which various communities have been excluded. For resources and more information about inclusive sex education, we recommend visiting the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN). Members of MSU's community can also find resources at Michigan State University's Lesbian Bisexual Gay and Transgender Resource Center.
