This denial necessitates comprehensive sex education in college for LGBTQ + students.

OBJECTIVE: Given the rise of online learning and that LGBTQ + students are already drawn to online spaces, this research seeks to determine preferences in virtual LGBTQ + sexuality education content and delivery LGBTQ + college students.

METHODS: We conducted a survey with US college students who identified as LGBTQ+ (N = 91) to identify past experiences with sex education, desires for future sex education, and preferences for online learning.

RESULTS: Past sex education, resources used, consequences, preferences for LGBTQ + sexuality and online education are discussed.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, we find high comfort with online learning, heteronormative and cisnormative past sex education courses created negative physical and mental health outcomes, and desires for tailored sex education.
