Here are excerpts from new Montgomery County sex-education lessons that have drawn objections:
· "Many people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender celebrate their self-discovery and feel relief and a new sense of joy when they can be honest with themselves and their loved ones." (Grade 10)
· "While cross-dressers change their clothes, transsexuals sometimes change their body by means of hormone therapy or sexual reassignment surgery to match how they feel." (Grade 10)
· "People can identify themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender at any point in their lives." (Grade 10)
· "Sexual orientation is innate and a complex part of one's personality." (Grades 8 and 10)
· "Homophobia may be shown in ways as mild as laughing at a gay joke or as severe and violent as gay bashing or murder." (Grade 10)
