i see the lifting of the ban as something thats a positive atleast it can be talked about maybe the negativity in some childrens minds can be addressed in the classroom

I'll also state that if I find out my child has been FORCEFULLY taught about homosexual relationships which include details about sexual relationships too I will withdraw my child from school. If my child was to ask me about homosexuality I would do my best to ensure they were given the facts.

If my child is forcefully taught religion I will do the same thing.
If my child then asks to be baptised they can be with my blessing.

i see religion has affected your ability to see the light

I was educated in a time where it was sociallu acceptable to pick on someon for being gay, even to use violence against them. Do I do that now? no. There simply is NO need to lift this clause.

i can see your way now

i disagree i think its part of the growing up process you will know what your preference is society will not affect someone who is homosexual

sex education is vital to a young persons education IMO if you look in to the teenage pregnancy rates they are high im not saying all those people did not know the consequences of there actions but some have no clue at what they are getting in to
