I think secondary school is a perfectly suitable time for children to learn more about same sex relationships and the rights of parents of that opinion to have that opinion are just as valid as those who don’t agree. The pushiness of some on this subject is getting pretty tiresome to be honest - I don’t mean you Ammi, you are always pleasant and considerate even when you don’t agree.

Secondary school is too late; without positive exposure to same-sex relationships, homophobic rhetoric is commonplace by the start of secondary school.
I don't think you can quite underestimate what kind of impact having positive exposure to LGBT relationships at a young age would have on young LGBT people's lives.
