It's sex ed, not reproduction ed. Even though reproduction is a major part of it, it's not the only goal of the class. With this line of thinking, you'd take STD discussion away from the class as well, which is arguably the most important subject to learn in the course. Homosexuals need to learn about certain things as well.
For instance, some may thing that because there's no chance of pregnancy, there's no reason to use a condom for gay male sex. This is actually something that I'd think would actually be okay for teens to not know at that age simply because nobody talks about that kind of stuff. Then when they end up having a fun night with someone they don't know has an STD, they get hit by a nasty surprise. It's something that should be obvious but may be overlooked in the heat of the moment.
