The BTS disagree with you, research shows that Homosexual men have an increased risk of HIV and bloodborn STD infection such as Hepititis. This is due to specific behaviours of Homosexual men as a group rather than safe sex between same sex couples.
They choose blood donors by their risk group, for example as I have had a transfusion I cannot give blood, this doesn't mean I have any infection but that I belong to a group with a higher risk, the same applies to homosexual men.
As for teaching Homosexuality to children, this is a tricky situation. It can be construed as promoting Homosexuality as a lifestyle choice or it can be seen as being homophobic if it is banned.
I think that homosexuality should not be taught in schools as part of sexual education. I think that sex education should be a totally separate issue from relationship education anyway. Advice and information should be available to everyone as an individual within schools and tolerance should be taught for all lifestyles and belief structures, but sexual education is something that should be applied in a scientific way with the emphasis on procreation. Relationship interaction should be applied without reference to different sexual orientation.

agreeing or disagreeing to think homosexuality is right or wrong is not the point
the point is that people should be free to choose what they do
if you dont like it, dont do it
but dont tell other people what they should or shouldn't do

Why?
It wasn't long ago most of the country were upset by women getting the vote... Doesn't mean they were right.
Anal sex is considered riskier than vaginal as the tissues are more vulnerable, hetro couples practice anal too but I guess that a larger % of gay men practice this thus are a higher risk

I agree just like it would be unsuitable to teach them about anal sex between men & women, oral sex, S&M and a 1000 other alternatives.
Kids will ask their own questions when needed and then it's up to us adults to reply in an appropriate way.
A couple of years ago I was teaching a class of around 30 x 14 year olds and telling them about the work experience placements they were going on.
To the amazement of the rest of the class one girl said that if she went on a placement and she was working with gay people, she would walk out.
Both me and the rest of the class challenged her on it but she was adamant and then we got to the root of the cause.
It came out that her Uncle had 'come out of the closet' 4 years earlier and the whole of the family had ganged up on him and barred him.
Later on in the afternoon I was delivering an E&D lesson when she declared all blacks should be sent back.
I asked her about the Phillipino girl sitting next to her and she said she was OK.
I asked her about my black colleague and she got the thumbs up to stay also.
Once again by being calm and measuring my questions it transpired that all her family voted BNP.
So viewers, it isn't the teaching of this stuff in school, it's getting to the root cause of why people think like this in the first place and it's usually parents.
I understand the logistics of it but it does not make it less bad. All the blood is tested and screened before its administered to a patient. Its ridiculous.
I never said teach. It should at least be talked about in pse.
not when you consider many screening/testing techniques do not pick up every bloodborn infection, it is safer to also exclude high risk groups. So it's not ridiculous it's just another layer of safety.
Why, why is homosexuality any different relationship wise than heterosexuality. But automatically talking about it as a seperate issue you are creating a division between the way a homosexual or heterosexual relationship interacts.
Its not. But homosexual relationships should be atleast acknowledged in the same way heterosexual relationships in PSE.
I don't really think that someones personal sexual preferences is relevent to the personal and emotional health of an individual. Should they also acknowledge bisexuality, S&M lifestyles, polygamy and so on. Should they being taught or discussing sexual lifestyles and the relevent merits of the Missonary position. I don't think it is really something to be discussed by children.
How people interact and relate to each other is enough, their sexual preference is immaterial, and the sooner we realise this the sooner the barriers that are artificially erected by schemes and ideology such as this will come down. If it is seen as not being different then division and prejudice will disappear also.
