If you want to have a gay class, then have it separate. I don't see any need in having everyone come in there and have to listen to a lecture on homosexuality. I don't want my 11 year old listening to this. I'm sorry, but as a parent, that's the way it is. Nothing personal, but I have certain things that I don't want my children purposefully exposed to. TV and other media are enough.
I've tried to make pretty clear in my posts that I'm talking about sex education for teenagers, many of whom are already sexually active, or will be soon. I don't know how many public schools teach sex ed to 11 year olds. I imagine few or none. We're generally talking about 15-17 year olds.
I do remember in my 5th grade that the girls were pulled out of class for a 'girls only' lecture. The boys later figured out that it was about menstruation. The teachers would not or could not tell us. It was kept a secret.
