When I was at school (and it's not so long ago, stop sniggering billy) sex ed was taught as part of the science curriculum, starting in year 7 (first year of high school). Most of the first year stuff was just discussing the changes we could expect during puberty, fairly dry stuff but obviously very important. In the second year, there was a lot more talk of what hormones do to your head and how to keep it in perspective, but I don't recall any teachers saying that relationships had to be boy-girl and I don't think the gay kids were teased or singled out any more than us speckies
It could be worse
