This is a wonderful talk. I went to school in rural upstate NY, and when HIV/AIDS education was introduced into the class room in about 1995, some parents began throwing an absolute fit: "my child will NOT be taught about gay sex!" they screamed at a board meeting. The ignorance was astounding, and even more troubling is that the topic was removed from our class completely. Even as a young teen I saw the danger in it, and it was so unfortunate. Even still, there is a long way to go.
