From my perspective no.
If "teaching culture" by using modern literature as the basis for stimulating classroom discussions to help students better understand the diversity of the country in which they will live and work....it seems to me to be a good use of school time and resources.

It might even enlighten students and end some of those superstitions...they might learn that if a classmate has two dads, it doesnt mean the classmate is more likely to "become" gay.
