I'm always amazed and saddened that as soon as schools say you can't bash gays, you're suddenly promoting homosexuality, as if you're going to tell everyone that they must be gay. Or else. Of course, the AFA is sort of telling everyone they must be straight... *sigh*
Founding member of the Colorado branch of GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) here, y'know, and starting to become involved with similar groups here in England. I was saddened when I started teaching here and saw how behind the UK is in terms of gay issues in schools. I was used to sponsoring gay/straight alliances and running teacher trainings on how to make classrooms safe for everyone. Here? Not so much.
