What the petition asks
Schools teach about heterosexual relationships in school but not the health of homosexual relationships. This would help for safer relationships and sexual activities having a lasting impact on their lives for the better. Specifically sexual and mental health.
Why it was rejected

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to explicitly require sexual and mental health in same-sex relationships to be part of relationships and sex education if that's something you would like to see happen.
