The UK Government is introducing a new law making gay and transgender sex education classes a legal requirement for all children ages five and over, in all schools in the United Kingdom.

The controversial new legislation will make it illegal for parents to opt out of the lessons on homosexuality and transgenderism, despite an official petition against the measure that received over 100,000 signatures.

The new curriculum aims to normalize gay relationships and celebrate "gender fluidity" for five-year-olds, with lessons will progressing as the children get older.

Teenage high school students will be taught about sexually transmitted diseases and given advice on sexual relationships between homosexual and transgender partners.

The new curriculum has now been finalized after a six-month consultation with the Department of Education, and is scheduled to be rolled out across UK schools starting from the 2020-21 educational year, The Sunday Times reports.

According to RT, it will be taught to pupils from the age of five, and it will be illegal for parents to take their children out of the classroom for the lessons.

The legal requirement will mean that at least a term’s worth of sex education classes – and likely far more – will be attended by each student.

A popular petition to parliament demanding that the opt-out is retained for the length of the child’s school education will be debated in the House of Commons on Monday.

The petition is not expected to affect the schedule for the implementation of the legislation, however.

The proposal has encountered resistance from conservative communities, including some Muslims and Jews.

In a letter expressing opposition, prominent rabbis expressed fears that some parents would rather take their children out of the education system altogether – which they are allowed to do – rather than subject them to the new curriculum.

Questions discussed during the non-assessed lessons, as listed in the current proposals for the curriculum, will include: 

“When is it OK to let someone touch me?” for 3-year-olds, and “Why are we all different? Is it OK to be different?” at age seven.

At 11, children will discuss “What is the difference between transvestite and trans-sexual?” and by 16, they will be told, “how to disclose positive HIV status to a sexual partner, family, and friends.”

Among the teaching materials for primary school children who are currently being trialed at a predominantly-Muslim school in Birmingham are "Tango Makes Three," a book about two gay penguins who nurture an egg taken from another family, and "My Princess Boy," which celebrates a dark-skinned child who loves to cross-dress.

The other aims of the curriculum include educating students on issues that have become more prevalent in Britain over the last two decades.

The subjects include female genital mutilation, sexting, revenge porn, and potential imbalance of power between the sexes in relationships.
