We have two same sex families in my son's school and its a small school. Its becoming more commonplace now and so needs to be included in the education of children. To be honest, my son is 8 and said they all talk about sex in the playground (although he thought kissing was people having "face sex"). Kids find things out a lot earlier now and they talk, ensuring they get a balanced view of the world including relationships at an early age will lead to less stigma as they get older.

However, as much as schools play a part, what is said at home plays a huge part too - no good schools normalising LGBT issues and then kids going home to be told differently, which is part of the problem and teaching in school will only be effective if it is coupled with back up from home.
