People aren't born homophobic, it's learnt behavoir, so therefore it's theoretically possible to teach something different.

Agreed. Rather than educating the non-homophobes, we need to, if anything, educate their parents. However, if I were a parent, and my kid came home from school with a slip that asked me to come to a class that would teach me how not to be homophobic, I would be so fúcking bitter. Therefore, I think the best thing to do is let this whole thing just play out. As we integrate more gay rights into politics, society, etc. then we will see homophobia naturally vanish, especially in children.
