I don't think gay marriage should be specifically highlighted in schools, because then it becomes an issue. If gay marriage is legal in whatever country/state, then when the topic of marriage comes up in class etc, of course gay marriage should be considered alongside straight marriage. It won't make children suddenly go "ah, I think I'm gonna be gay now!", they don't even have sexual feelings by that age. It just makes it less of an alien topic and so it's not so much of a shock when they get older. No need to rub it in their faces or anything but just introducing the fact that couples don't necessarily have to be between a man and a woman certainly can't hurt in my opinion, so long as both heterosexual and homosexual marriages are taught as on par with each other.
