Schools give pupils gay sex advice
OFFICIAL guidance on how to teach Scottish schoolchildren about gay sex is being issued for the first time since the abolition of laws which banned "promoting" homosexuality in schools.
Teachers will be told they can discuss issues including safe gay sex and where to get advice on homosexual relationships, in a move which has already set religious groups and health professionals at loggerheads.
The guidelines come six years after the massive row over 'Section 2A', which - after months of bitter argument - saw the abolition of laws that effectively prevented teachers discussing gay sex education.
