#47 Should Lgbtq+ Issues Be Part Of Sex Education In Schools? (Interviews only audio)

Guests: David Quinn (Columnist, Sunday Independent/irish Catholic) Derek Byrne (Academic And Journalist)

Description: In this thought-provoking episode, Niall dives into the contentious topic of whether LGBTQ+ issues should be included in sex education in schools. Joining him are David Quinn, a columnist from the Sunday Independent and Irish Catholic, and Derek Byrne, an academic and journalist, to share their perspectives on the matter.

David emphasizes the importance of treating everyone with respect, but he raises concerns about introducing gender ideology into the education system. He calls for open dialogue and mutual respect between both sides of the argument, urging against branding people based on their opinions.

On the other hand, Derek believes that the proposed sex education bill is primarily about education and providing correct information to young individuals. As a gay man himself, he acknowledges the challenges of keeping up with evolving perspectives but stresses the necessity of providing children with comprehensive and necessary education.
