Ok so I know a lot of you aren't in school anymore but I thought you might be interested in what were learning nowadays. SO I am sorry for the poor quality fo the worsheet I will scan but well the copy we were given sucks.
Then our class was split into 4 groups two all male 2 all female and we had to think of things to fill in this chart that was like advantages and disadvantages of being male and female from the other persons point of veiw. SO the guys did the girls and the girls did the guys. This is what we came up with

I'd point my finger and decry the state of American education, except that I don't the handouts we got in the couple of days spend on sex ed. in health class had much of anything on anything but heterosexual sex, the risks of STDs, the need for abstinence or methods to prevent conception (note the difference, not "birth control" but "prevent conception").
There was only a brief mention, if any, of the word "homosexual."
HIV? AIDS? I think it was after I graduated high school that they were discussed, and at that time, no one knew (ordinary, but educated, adults and teens) quite how it was transmitted or if it could be prevented. (It was the mid 1980's.)
The lines in your handout about one possible cause of homophobia being the fear of catching HIV? -- That doesn't explain how prevalent homophobia was before anyone had heard of HIV or AIDS. -- It's also a misstatement, because, although people do have that fear, the handout didn't make clear that HIV/AIDS is not just a "gay" or "druggie" disease. It is like any disease, it will infect anyone it can; that's what makes it so terrible.
-----
The class advantages and disadvantages were funny, but also showed some mixed messages. -- But if you'd asked my class, you'd have gotten similar answers. -- Again, I can't make fun of the grade level there, because, to be honest, what they had us do was all too similar. (But as an adult, I look at that and think it's way too simplistic for your age group. You're a lot smarter than that, and deserve more information.)
Soapbox, anyone? I think I'm done with it.

It's funny but all i remember about my last health class (and it was only a couple of years ago) was putting condoms on wooden penises (the class had a class set of 30 thanks to the woodshop students) I always wondered about the poor kid who's mother asked him, "what did you do today at school?" "I made wooden penises in shop."  )
as for homosexuals all i can remember about that is a picture in my text book of two boys holding hands and walking outside. there was a paragraph that basicaly said that homosexuals are like a seceret little society that kinda exists without much notice. And there were some statistics about gays in Canada (we recognize same sex marrage in several provinces now) but stats can be made to say many things and although interesting, i have a hard time regarding interpretations as fact. I'm not sure how i felt about the paragraph but i looked at that picture for a long time and wished that i was one of those boys, they looked so...happy.
