I wanted to write that parents should discuss about homosexuality with their children. But let's be honest! When is a mother or father planning to talk about it with their children? If there is friends or family members who are homosexual then of course it will come up. But for many families it does not.

I don't see any harm about discussing about homosexuality at school. That way children will understand it early on and hopefully realise that it is not tabu or weird or reason to laugh or stay away from a person.

I know some would say that if teachers speak to children about the homosexuality they might be curious and "try" it themselves. I thing that is not true at all! Sexual attraction is something that you cannot decide or create, it is something that you will have one way or the other no matter what has been said or done.

And if talking about it gets a child to realise he or she might be one it can help her to grow as a person and answer man questions preteens will have. In extreme cases it can even prevent someone falling into deep depression or even worse! So by all means, please, let the teachers educate our children about homosexuality!

It would be great if the "in the closet" term would slowly disappear and everyone would accept each other as they are. It has been said so many times that you cannot choose if you want to be homosexual or not. It is something that is part of you and I believe that teaching about what it is all about would avoid some bullying and help as all co-exist as a happy society!
