Yes, sex education going beyond topics of "straight" sex is very important, not only because kids deserve proper education about their orientation (and not be forced into risky situations because they didn't know any better), but also because this sends a message . What kills me is the idea that the existence of homosexuals is not an age-appropriate topic... for middle schoolers? Really?? So the subtext is that homosexuality is automatically too "mature" and "repulsive" to discuss even in the context of education... yeah, way to shame the gay kids.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
