The Catholic Church in Scotland has reacted with outrage over the decision to issue schools in the country with official guidance on how to teach Scottish schoolchildren about gay sex.
It is the first time such guidance has been issued since the massive row 6 years ago over ‘Section 2A’ which eventually saw the end of laws that prevented teachers from bringing gay sex education into the classroom.
Under the official guidance teachers will now be allowed to discuss issues including safe gay sex and where to get advice on homosexual relationships, reports The Scotsman.
The decision has pitted health professionals against religious groups who have expressed anger at the move.
