The Safe Schools Coalition is a group of organizations which promotes the acceptance of same sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse students. In 2016 the Turnbull government proposed cutting funding to the program and restricting it to secondary schools. Opponents of the program argue that parts of the group’s curriculum, including teaching 7 year olds to imagine they attracted to the same sex, are inappropriate. Proponents of the program, including the Green party, argue that between 1 and 2% of all students identify as gender diverse and the curriculum helps prevent bullying.

No need to promote it. They either are or are not. They don't promote heterosexualness, so why homosexualness?

No, that money should be used to fund health services as gay/trans/etc are a mental health issue.
@4ZPRSBH3yrs3Y
The Safe Schools programme should be modified to be less overtly LGBLT..
@4ZB22XM3yrs3Y
Teach acceptance of people, change the curriculum to be inclusive. Teach safe sex regardless of where you stick it, or where you take it.

Safe schools should cover all forms of discrimination, body-ist, racist, etc as well as sexual choice. The information of sexual choice is also inaccurate overstating some cases 3 out of 4 transgender children grow out of it. Safe schools also encourages presently illegal behaviour and seeks to redefine 'normal'
