A call for children to be taught more about gay and lesbian issues has been defended by the Scottish Government.

The call came in a report from a group set up by ministers in 2006 to look at attitudes in Scotland to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

Among its recommendations is a call for "practical guidance and material" in the curriculum for schools to promote inclusion.
