Teaching 'being gay is wrong' challenged

Printer-friendly version

Teaching that homosexual practice is wrong could land schools in trouble, according to new legal guidance published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

The document provides only a dangerously ambiguous boundary, suggesting that were a religious school to "tell its pupils that being gay or lesbian is 'wrong', and that gay and lesbian people will 'burn in hell' unless they are 'cured of the disease', then this would likely constitute unlawful discrimination."
