YouTuber and social media influencer Tyler Oakley graces the cover of the print publication. Through an exclusive interview on the interior, Tyler discusses sex education in the age of the internet and how it has allowed LGBTQ+ youth to have access to the sex education they need. "Being able to give people an opportunity to connect in meaningful ways where they couldn't have before can only be a good thing," says Oakley. Growing up as a young gay person in a small town in Michigan, the internet was an integral part of Oakley's own sexual education. "Being gay, my sexual education never included my kind of intimacy or sex, so I turned to the internet," he recalls. "The difference between what I was Googling in 2000 and what's available now in 2018 is mind-blowing."
"Broad City's" Ilana Glazer also lends her voice to the campaign to promote the importance of sex positivity and discusses how people have responded to her and "Broad City" co-creator Abbi Jacobson's openness when it comes to sexuality. "People interview us, and they'll be like, 'Woah, you ladies are so raunchy,'" says Glazer. "But we don't think of it as raunchy. The way that Abbi and I, as friends, have talked about sex has always been just open and honest." Glazer discusses the importance of young adults feeling sexually empowered and not feeling pressure to fit a specific label. "I definitely think that we are headed toward a place where people don't have to parse out so concretely what they are, when they are," she says. "The next generation of students is already bringing in a huge influence of fluidity in many areas of identity that is really exciting to me."
