ICongenital physical defects aren't the same as self mutilation and lifestyle choices.
As for whether a boy can wear a dress or that be it a girl can wear pants, who cares, it is only clothing, hardly the end of the word stuff.
The number of LGBTI children at school must be so small that it doesn't warrant filling normal kids minds with tripe while they are trying to learn skills that they will need to get a job, go to uni etc.

Wow and I wonder why there is so much hatred in our society.
Defects, I hate to be an intersex person at your dinner partner. So Joe, you are defective as you were not born the norm, male or female. You must feel great about yourself you are not one of us.
Self Mutilation, WTF.
Lifestyle choices - whether being LGBT is a choice or not, really is not of your business. They are asking you to be gay, so don't ask someone to be straight.

Our society can never more forward if we have so many closed minds.
if the average class size is 30 kids, that could be just under 1 lgbti child per class, not to mention that even those that aren't LGBT themselves have about a 1 in 20 chance of having a lgbt child later in life and a 1 in 10 chance of having an lgbt grandchild.
when you factor in the chances of a persons friend, work colleague, neighbour etc etc might be lgbt, then the chances are even higher that they will be around lgbt people, I think it is worthwhile to teach about it and try and reduce the stigma that surround this group, if we do a good job of it, in 20 years it won't be needed.
What us you really source for this lesson that taught kids to fantasize?Well, it's a matter of how you teach it. As I said a factual explanation of differences would suffice, it would probably only take one lesson. Kids don't need their heads filled with rubbish about fantasizing about being gay if they are not, if you are going to go down that path why not get gay kids to fantasize about being straight instead ?

Are you that naive VC?such as?
Rubbish.So what, role playing, cannot see the harm, it is trying to teach tolerance, empathy and understanding.
Something that seems to lack on this forum.
Rubbish.
Almost all of us are happy to be inclusive, but no matter how tolerant and empathetic I feel, there is no way I ever want to be put in a position of imagining a gay relationship for myself, no way ever.
I can only imagine a world were can actually show empathy.
Neither have I ever been to war, yet feel for what people have gone through.

If you want a career as an academic, there are required views on politics, climate change, feminism 2.0 and environmental policy. Identify as a conservative: watch you career stall.
Are you talking about this bit
Lesson 2 is of particular concern as the teaching materials encourage students to become, or at least think about becoming sexually active, as indicated in the following comment, “Invite students to imagine themselves in the role of a young person who is aged 16 years or older and is going out with someone they are really into.”

It's not "teaching kids to fantasise about being gay"
I think the claims being made but the anti LGBT crowd are pretty over blown.
so you're suggesting that I should be sodomized in order to understand that men may have feelings for each otherHow do you feel for something without having experienced it, unless you imagine what it feels like.
