yes but you dont expect a 5 year old to understand what a homosexual relationship is about, you have to think about the timeing, it would be individually balanced depending on the mentality of the person at the age they were told, not everyone can fully understand the opposite to something, especially if those around them meaning other children have a mother and father and you have to acknowledge there question and they feel 'abnormal'............

if you do mistime the education then you will ultimately confuse the child, the 'propoganda' as you put it would no come in to it, because the child would/should have sufficient protection from the parents to ensure other pupils dont question the child about not having a mother or father, but having said that things tend to 'get out'............
