I think that in the interest of public health it is important to cover everything in sex ed. Yes, homosexuality should be addressed. Yes, the mechanics should be addressed. The more we talk about sex, the less it becomes some act of teenage rebellion to do it.
Haven't you all noticed that the less we talk about sex--abstinence-only education--the more the teen pregnancy and STD rates go up? Clearly, how we educate children and teens about sex is a public health issue, and therefore we need to be open about talking about all of it, to keep kids safe and healthy.
