Teaching about sexualities and the LGBTQ+ movement today is full of pitfalls and possibilities. While growing acceptance of at least some segments of the LGBTQ+ community means students are more open to talking about these issues than ever before, two serious barriers remain: (1) The rise of Trump has empowered antagonistic students to utilize the tools of the neoliberal university to retaliate against sexualities instructors, and (2) even more-accepting students often struggle to have nuanced conversations about sexualities that acknowledge diversity and are not ahistorical. Horror can be used to overcome these barriers, illustrating the extent of LGBTQ+ marginalization for more-resistant students while helping others see that sexuality is socially constructed and historically mediated. This article will begin with a theoretical overview of how the horror genre illustrates changing social attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community and highlights the challenges faced by diverse identities under the umbrella before ending with practical suggestions for incorporating these lessons into the classroom.

今天关于性和 LGBTQ+ 运动的教学充满了陷阱和可能性。虽然至少 LGBTQ+ 社区的某些部分越来越被接受意味着学生比以往任何时候都更愿意谈论这些问题，但仍然存在两个严重的障碍：(1) 特朗普的崛起使敌对的学生有能力利用新自由主义大学的工具以报复性行为指导者，以及 (2) 甚至更容易接受的学生往往难以就承认多样性且非历史性的性行为进行细致入微的对话。恐怖可以用来克服这些障碍，说明 LGBTQ+ 对更具抵抗力的学生的边缘化程度，同时帮助其他人看到性是社会建构和历史中介的。
