Ignoring the stereotyping commentary, this idea still just seems crazy.

Surely schools for the most part should stick to their subject matter?

I understand including references to alternate sexual and gender identities in Social Studies or teaching about safe same sex in Sex Ed classes. But "LGBT vocabulary" "making symbols linked to the gay rights movement"?

Seems to just be pushing an agenda on kids... And even if it's an agenda I agree with (gay rights ARE important) I don't see it belonging as a major part of a school curriculum...

Try to ignore it. The original article os from The Daily Telegraph.

And there are NO census findings about the number of homosexuals in the population, nor will the 2011 census here ask for it. I know because I have seen the questionnaire. It does ask about your partnership status

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
