I think I need to answer that in two parts:
They aren't being told about sodomy in graphic detail. And, anal sex is already a huge problem among teenagers (especially the ones taking the 'virginity pledge' as has been discussed on other threads). So it's not sodomy which seems to be a huge issue or abstinence only education would be stopped.
And here's your bigger issue... but most younger people (except for the far right) could care less about their friends' sexuality or that of their parents.
It's a prejudice which, luckily, seems to be diminishing, if not dying out totally (hatred never does).
Just how it is. And I don't think that's a bad thing.

doesn't want their kids indoctrinated on how families with 'two dads' are just as good as traditional families, and especially doesn't want the school passing out questionnares to determine how gay they are. There's a fine line between preaching tolerance and proselytizing for an unpopular cause. Public schools can't even see the line anymore.
