Hoping your kid doesn’t turn out gay is homophobic though, because the only reason you would hope he/she doesn’t is if you feel there is something wrong with it and that it is not a normal way of life.
There is far too much homophobia in society, and I find it encouraging that such backward and archaic views (which have no place in a modern society) are challenged strongly on this forum.
But this whole thing has been misunderstood from the very start. Relationship Education is about teaching children the different sorts of relationships that exist in a modern Britain. It is not teaching children about gay sex. And schools have the ability to set when it will be taught, just so long as that it
is taught in early years education, so it isn’t even set in stone that it will be taught ages 4.
The protests in Birmingham
are rooted in homophobia. That homophobia stems from a religious text that they follow. Same for the Christians who are against it. As
@Wibble said, religion and education should be kept apart.
