LGBT+ Sex and Relationship Education

The act of sex is meant for reproduction. Sex between those of the same sex fails to achieve this. If men were supposed to have sex with men, why don't rectums naturally lubricate, whereas vaginas do?

I don't care about what traditions the Greeks and the Romans had. This is the United Kingdom. We don't do whatever weird traditions they do on the mainland.

I don't think I am discriminating against them. As their loving, equally imperfect neighbour, I feel that the most loving thing to do is to educate them about God's love for us. Since God is perfect, he has expected all of us to be perfect as well since we are created in his image. However, since we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, we are all guilty and are deserving of God's punishment. God loves us so much, however, that he came to Earth as Jesus Christ to die on the Cross and sacrifice himself on the Cross to pay for our sins. All homosexual people and all sinners (i.e. every human on Earth) needs to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour in order to receive God's grace and reconcile with God.

Teaching people about LGBT sex is not going to help them be saved. It's another step in the wrong direction, away from reconciling and receiving forgiveness from God for their sins.

Define 'supposed'. Humans weren't meant to fly, but we made planes. We weren't meant to cook our food, that's completely unnatural, yet we do.

don't try and turn people to this extremist and, frankly, archaic view.

Planes and cooking are constructive things that are meant to make the human race more productive, and are signs of the supremacy of the human race over other animals. Sex between those of the same sex, on the other hand, does not enhance our productivity, nor is it in any way constructive.

People applied your logic to interracial couples in the past, and now that would be considered to be a fairly abhorrent view. Why is this any different?

It is becoming archaic, or obsolete. Around 50% of the country's population are now atheist, according to a recent study.

If God is perfect, then we can assume that his creations turn out exactly as he wants them to - if not, he's flawed in his ability to create, and therefore isn't perfect. By extension, anyone who's LGBT+ is that way because he wants them to be, and they shouldn't be penalised for something out of their control.

Of course, this is all presupposing the existence of a deity, which nobody can prove. So we should be treating it as a case of basic human decency as much as anything else; who are we to tell others who they should or shouldn't love, if no one is being hurt?

And more to the point, no matter what we do or don't teach, people will engage in the acts regardless. The least we can do is ensure that they're doing so as safely as possible.

Nope. Only 13% of British people are firm atheists.

By the logic of promoting homosexuality, should incest also be allowed, as some people, I assume, are predisposed to be attracted to a relative?

We are not 'meant' to do anything, unless you subscribe to the frankly absurd notion of there being a creator deity. Nature is often personified, but truly nature is not some monolithic force or being.

This! An ideal view of God and His creations is flawed. I don't dispute there may be a God, I believe in a form of God, but not one who promotes hatred to those who are different from you, whether this be gender, race, religion, or sexuality. The idea of someone following a peaceful God and discriminating against others is illogical and complete hypocritism.

We are not 'meant' to do anything, but we do things to maintain our supremacy over other animals, given that if we are complacent and do not act to maintain our supremacy, we may be overtaken to become the prey of the animal kingdom in this struggle.

Nope. Only 13% of British people are firm atheists.

Linking this to incest and paedophilia is an old and illogical argument. They both occur in hetro and homo situations - this is nothing to do with sexuality. Sexuality has no bearing on attraction for a member of your family or a child, just as it wouldn't with bestiality or other unrelated arguments you may put forward.

I am Agnostic, believing in a form of God, if not believing in some Christian views - yet I support LGBT. A lot of religious people are not backward enough to discriminate, I know many religious people who support LGBT. Just because some people are stuck in the past, doesn't mean everyone who is religious are.

By spouting homophobia, you put most people off being religious.
