Sex education is about the human body (male and female) in a biological sense, the consequences of not practicing good hygiene and safe sex, and practical customs in maintaining a healthy, sexual being. It is about informing the student of safe sex protocols, preventing child-birth, and avoiding STD's. It is not about how to put "tab A" into "slot B" and so forth, so I really don't think the mention of homosexuality OR heterosexuality is fundamentally necessary in sex education classes.

I further believe it is not unreasonable to include the mention of same-sex activity in a relatively equal amount as opposite-sex activity, when explaining such things as preventing life-threatening diseases or the lack of good clean hygiene common practices.
