Subject: RE: BS: Pope 'condones condom use in some cases
I am saying that the education we currently provide (at least in the UK, as I can't speak for anywhere else) is inadequate and often ofthe wrong kind. I was involved in it in secondary schools for 25 years and I found it to be a very frustrating role. Almost without hope in fact. Even if it were better than it currently is, things would not exactly helped by people claiming that homosexual people are anomalous or abnormal, as has been suggested here. They are simply at one end of a big spectrum of sexual behaviour (or let's even draw the spectrum as a big circle instead). People who think gay people are anomalous or in some way abnormal, or who characterise them as a group as promiscuous, are betraying the sort of prejudice that actually emanates from the inadequate education I'm on about.
