"Will high school students see a play dealing with homosexual love in school this year? Producers of the play 'A Song For Two' - which is based on the English musical 'Beautiful Thing' and deals with love between young men - are offering the production to local high school principals for inclusion in their 'culture basket'.
"The backers of the proposal say that they are motivated by a desire to help gay and lesbian teens find greater acceptance among their peers.
"The principal of 4th Municipal High School is open to the possibility. 'There is no human phenomenon that should be ignored. Homosexual-lesbian love is love like any other love. A play of this type can be presented in school after properly preparing students to think pluralistically and recognize 'the other.''
"Other principals preferred to reserve judgment until seeing the play."
My question: is this project a bold (and welcome) innovation or would a production such as this be offered in many high schools around the world?
The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
