Re: "ever more liberal sex education"

Yes, I think the idea that gay people can never morally have sex is exactly the result that the religious groups want to achieve. What these people aren't considering, though, is that gay sex never results in unwanted pregnancies.

Not only does the "save yourself for marriage" philosophy not account for homosexuals and heterosexuals who are in committed relationships without being married, but it can also be problematic in the opposite way. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are married and sexually irresponsible; marriage is hardly a magic medicine that eradicates unsafe sex. And none of this is even considering how a lot of kids brought up on abstinence-only education have a lot of oral and anal sex and claim it doesn't count.
