I never got the sex talk from my parents. They saw that in 5th grade they were giving us sex ed, and trusted the school to tell me all that I needed. And let me tell you that wasn't a good idea. I never heard the word condom, or birth control, and I remember I asked what viagra was, and the teacher wouldn't tell me. It was pretty bad. This was back in 2001 so I don't know what sex ed is like now, hopefully its better. But I wouldn't trust the school to do everything for you. It seems like you got the right gameplan though, just give her all the information she wants, and try not to act uncomfortable about it. I also think it's good the way you are treating gays, and lesbians, even if she isn't gay it will teach her to be more tolerant of others.
One suggestion I do have though, it probably isn't age appropriate now, but maybe when she is 16,17 make sure she nows how to properly apply a condom. It may be extremely uncomfortable but it isn't something that the boys just need to know. And it could save her an unwanted pregnancy, and/or an STI.
