Hell no, it was always ok to talk about being gay, it just wasn't top of the agenda because, like everything in schools, they mostly pitched to the middle ground. It was slightly different when we moved to Queensland, since sodomy was still illegal here until 1990, but nobody paid any attention to the law 
Marijuana was illegal too (still is, obviously) but most teachers felt an obligation to educate kids on drug safety.
I don't know what it's like in the schools these days though. My kids are only primary school age, and all the "sex ed" they get is about "good feelings and yucky feelings" and "this is a special me-only part of my body".

It could be worse
