I was among the first generation at school in the 1960s to have sex education although that word was not mentioned, it was called "health education". I knew I liked men but these "classes" were all about straight sex, it was assumed that we would all go down the stereotype road of getting married and having a family and thus the education was mainly about what to do when the wife screams that she's about to give birth. I am sure I was not the only boy in a school of nearly 500 who was growing up gay but this aspect of sexuality was never mentioned at all, it never entered the teachers's heads for a moment that some of us were different. Did anybody else who had sex education at school find this to be the case or, in the case of straight guys, were the "lessons" useful?
