More GLBT questions

Just a quick word. We seem to have a lot of comments about the GLBT topic so I thought that I would throw out another question. I was flipping through the channels last week (when we were on break) and came across a Dr. Phil show. I'm not a big watcher of this type of programming but there was the topic at hand. There was a panel discussion about the recent decision in California to over turn the same sex marriage being allowed. The panel raised some interesting questions; one of the biggest for me was the idea that this was a civil issue not a religious issue, so there for we need to remember there is a separation between church and state. So that begs the same question in our schools, if there is a separation between church, state and school then why is this such a big deal to mention same sex relationships in our teachings? Just something to ponder.
