Sex ed should happen before the kids have an opportunity to make mistakes on their own. We don't let people drive without learning how, why should they start having sex before they know how to do it safely?
Also, your own sexuality is not the only thing in question. What if your neighbors, relatives, friends are gay?
Most "sex ed" courses are poorly funded, and frankly just give kids the tools to have sex. You don't really learn anything from sex ed besides abstinence, and if you're really horny use a condom, then birth control. It never tells you not to, it tells you how to without consequences. Things like "16 and pregnant" are what's responsible for the lowered teen pregnancy, the fear of your freedom being stripped from you, and being expose by not only a responsibility, but the greatest responsibility, really freaks kids out.
If anything we should just get kids to watch MTV.
