I have nothing against 'awareness' and 'tolerance', but I think we need to distinguish between that and propaganda. It's a fact that kids' can be impressionable and, rather than promoting tolerance to exceptional behaviours, this just normalizes them. Normalizing a behaviour that is and should be relatively exceptional is, by default, promotion; promotion to uncritical minds is propaganda.

The effort is better-spent putting the adult homophobes in their place (of which there are many more than pre-adolescent ones) instead of raising gay-friendly kids.

Again, don't get me wrong, I have several homosexual friends and colleagues whom I support, but you'll never see me waving any pink/rainbow flags around. I agree, the line should be drawn at 'agenda'.
