I believe that homosexuality should be talked about in school. In the real world, it's a real thing. I'm part of it and you're part of it. Why shouldn't them be informed about the different types of people in this world. Why shouldn't they be told that there are different sexual orientations? It's wrong and it's like saying homosexuality doesn't exsist if it's not talked about. If a health teacher can't give at least a neutral point of view on it, then they shouldn't teach health, because health is supposed to inform people of how to take care of themselves, gain a higher self-esteem, and learn about other types of people as well. Students should learn about homosexuality. It's not wrong, after all...don't straight people love as well?

I strongly believe that there should be some sort of teaching given about Gay/Lesbian people, it would prevent a lot of problems, if gay and straight people could learn to be intergrated with each other at a young age that would be great, currently people dont know about "gays" so automatically it scares them, they arent comfortable with it..
Believe me, when i came out, the whole school knew about it within a week and to this day i still get funny looks, and people avoiding me because of it, some people are scared of it...
If it was taught at a young age maybe this would be prevented?

no unless the majority of kis in your school are gay then it would be fair
but not that many kids are gay and most hate gays i just think it would just be another big struggle that the straights would win

Funny you should mention this, only today had i complained to the headmaster about the lack of "alternate sexual orientation" education..
In school we have NEVER learnt anything about homosexuals, which is the main cause of the amount of homophobics..

well i came out to pretty much to entire school when i was in yr 10, and i got no problems what so ever.
a lot people actually respected me for coming out to everyone's faces etc.
it was good, but i did get some verbal shite thrown at me evey now and then. one time i was in a french class and this yr 8 kid askd me if i was gay and i said yes. then he put up his hand and asked if he could move. that hurt me.
i'm in college now and i'e come out to 3 of my new mates. so far, so good.

hey see we've never had anything to do with gays etc in my skool and i think its really unfair and then yesterday in se we had a video about love and relationships and that and its like a 3 hour video (we're watchin it over a few weeks) but there was only lyk a 2 minute thing about gays and stuff and i thought it was reli unfair. I came out about a yr ago and largely it was taken well apart frm a couple of guys but my year head was reli gd about it and put a stop to that and the guys were actually suspended which was kl but lyk some of ma teachers no ahm gay and they reli dont take me seriously and then my bio teacher is all lyk "Thats the way the race evolved to reproduce and continue the species" and that and i mean apart frm the video which is only shown in 5th yr (2nd lst yr b4 we leave) we only have this poxy little poster outside an english teachers class. Its really annoying and i mean i could have done with alot of help in like 1st year and that cause it was reli hard but instead i made stupid mistakes but now when i see a 1st year i know is gay i kinda take him under my wing so thats good but still skools should do more

This is something I feel very strongly about.
Schools should definitely teach about homosexuality. Without a doubt. I have no idea why they promote the idea of heterosexuality, and sit in Philosophy and Ethics lessons preaching about how God put us on this planet to "go forth and multiply".
What do you all think?
AGREEEEE 100% my teacher did say to us if you are gay anyone in this room i was like omfg  then you need to use a condom or u will get an STD and die i was ;like omfg but its only cuz he dont like gay ppl

I agree too. I can't wait for the day that teachers DON'T teach sex education based entirely on the straight point of view. Wouldn't it be great if they taught about all relationships equally, without any prejudice.
There was a program on UK Teachers Channel by a gay rapper about the hate bullying in school against gays but it was shown at like 3.00 am so i sent an email to the channel producers. They said thet the dvd is available to teachers if they want it - but that's not the point it should have been sent to all schools so that all of us can see it. It also raised this point: Has anyone noticed that if you go to the corner shop the gay magazines are always in the porn section? Thats wrong - being gay is not pornographic at all. I guess this is how a lot of teachers view gay life too, maybe thats why they hardly ever say anything about gays when teaching except that it's wrong and a mortal sin and bollocks like that

I agree with Scrumpy, people should just except it and move on, its not like we chose this path. As far as my school goes, Lets just say coming out isin't the best thing to do.. we have a gay/straight alliance but no one really joined, i would like to but, some people in this world are just looking for an opportunity to say something. Im fine with keep my sexual orientation away from my social life in high school, Ive noticed even teachers change if they find out your gay. But yeah overall, Ive excepted it and expect other ppl to do the same^^

at school they teach about sex and stuf and babies and gettting married do u think they should teack about gay people and wot it means to be gay its real hard when u gotta ask the things all time or u gotta go to a specal website or get aa book because no one wants to talk about we cant change who and wot we r so they should acept it and teach it 
In my opinion schools should teach about homosexuality and not be afraid to teach about this, being Gay is not bad, it is just that people realize that they are attracted to the same sex. Being Gay is hard, because most families have that christian point of view that says that you should date the opposite sex and then teens views are different and then conflicting point of views.

At my school, if we got tought about gay sex ect, or even anything appart from the hetro version of events, there would be a large percentage of that class that would strike out and bully many others. Unlike in many schools, my school is very straight promotion in a way, they cant teach about being open minded, because most kids there are -wild- and would kick off at the sound of anything gay.
I guess it shows how britain has a nation of closed minded idiots, well majority of kids anyway.
Im sure we have a few gay teachers hell, i enjoy flirting and testing my theories out, but i just think that if teachers, had to try and expand a pupils brain, by trying to explore homosexuality, it would go in one ear and out the other, and besides, do you think a school board would care?
seriously, if there was a choice, an extra hour of maths? or a gay sex talk... hmm, what would you think it to be?

We should talk about gay/lesbians in school. I mean when i was in life management last year we only talked about heterosexual things.
nothing like what good things that homosexuality have done,probably because there are some stupid and immature people out there, that just wants to bash us, and thats just wrong
but everything will change, all we have to do is wait and see.

School curriculum co-ordinators have to spend more time on sex education before they start worrying about particular facets.
My sex education lasted a term, 45 minutes every 2 or 3 days of the school week. It barely covered basics like STDs and Physiology and Anatomy that, by all means, I really do not need to know... the Anatomy part, I mean, the STDs is important.
Only once education gets more serious about it and increases time can there be any more concentration on gay affairs. However, seeing as in reality homosexuality is less common than heterosexuality, it would only make sense that it doesn't take priority, or isn't even half/half, but it should be there.
That being said, 'the Government has never really been interested in the education of it's people' - Maynard James Keenan. The educational authorities impose restriction rather than education, and all sorts of needless perversities arise.
You should always respect one's religious beliefs, however imaginary friends, delusional behaviour, a belief in a two thousand year old folk-lore should be treated by a professional.

Is this really a question? Of course. It's a course on human sexuality and homosexuals engage in sex. They should also discuss "The angry pirate" or a "donkey punch" or maybe the classic "Hindenberg" where a person lights his or her overweight partner on fire, then pushes them off the bed and yells "Oh the humanity!"

In Singapore, the community is rather conservative. When the word "homosexuality" is hanged on the lips, large portion of the community will be shunning at you, if you happened to be talking in public. In school, the issue on homosexuality is debated, discussed. But. there was once where me , myself was irritated by my teacher's comment that "the issue of homosexuality is not likely to be tested in General Paper Essay Questions" as the gay people has no right to be discussed!!

In all of the CAPP classes (basically health class) that I've been forced to do attend, theres no mention of homosexuality. None at all. At least they should talk about how homosexuals need to practise safe sex as well to protect themselves from STIs. They didn't even mention what it is to be a homosexual! (No talk of it! I'm outraged!)

I think if we were to learn about gay and homosexual people, the subject would only be laughed upon, in class the term homosafians, bi terms like bilingual and so many others get laughed upon and their not even about that subject. It would be nice, but it would just be a big joke to everyone >.<

I think that they should start teaching kids about people being gay as early as possible. I think that it should be introduced in fourth grade. If kids start seeing being gay as normal, then it will not be able to be used as an insult, and it would be one of those "undiscussable" subjects among kids. There are more and more teens that are coming out earlier and earlier, I came out when I was 13. I think that people should come out young. We are inteligent boys, and we need to fix this problem.
