what's to teach? Having a gay couple on a TV show is just having a gay couple on a TV show not a sex education lesson

I think you're wrong, again we're not talking about sex education here, I don't understand what you mean by"when a child isn't ready to understand" understand what? that some men have boyfriends instead of girlfriends? What's hard to understand about that

If you're happy enough with straight romances being played out on Kids' TV then there's no valid argument against gay relationships really.

Well that doesn't really reflect reality at seeing as those statistics are incorrect; there is much more of the LGBT community..

Even those statistics are bogus.. They're not exactly going to interview everyone, and there's still a lot of closeted people so the statistic does not fully show how much of the community is apparent in everyday life..

all of the figures you have seen are inaccurate. if you include anyone who has any kind of same sex attraction or experience, the numbers go up significantly. the true number of people who are not 100% straight is much much higher.

That's a good point. It's hard enough to teach children about sex education, but omg, imagine them having to teach about gay/lesbian sex, when most of them don't really know how it's done in the first place. Well, not properly anyway.

...well some teachers who teach sex education are probably virgins also and some aren't parents so it could be argued that they are not qualified to teach children/as thy have no experience of children etc...but the knowledge would be explained..and we're not quite talking every sexual position in schools anyway, which probably not many of us have experience of....

hahaha omg so much thought has to go into this subject it's unreal. I feel bad for any teacher who has to do the sex ed... not fun... not fun at all. I can just imagine teachers telling pupils that lesbians just scissor all the time and all gay guys do is anal.

what they should really tell kids (WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH OF COURSE omg) that its all about the foreplay. Most important advice you can ever give anyone!!!!

..you come teach, we need you.....last year was actually the first year that sex education was on the curriculum as our school is now for slightly older children as well and we did have to send a letter to parents/have them come in and talk to them about hat they're children would be learning etc and would they be ok with that..?..anyways, they also wanted the children to come to the meeting and to let them decide if they wanted it..(because it doesn't have to be covered/it just has to be some kind of personal development topic..)...and from the children it was a unanimous nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, good gracious me................

So sex education is on the curriculum for older children but they were asked and they didn't want it?.... don't ask them if they want maths then :\
