More about:

Starting in 2012, Dutch schools will be required to include lessons about homosexuality as part of the sex education curriculum. It's currently estimated that as many as two-thirds of Dutch students are not taught about homosexuality in school and some gay rights groups believe this is one of the reasons some gay students face ridicule and discrimination at school.

Viewing the video of the issues of gay youth in Dutch schools,I am amazed that such a sexually 'progressive' country are having to legislate for the inclusion of gay sex education! But anything which will possibly lessen/stop anti-gay bullying in schools has to be welcomed.
