From Education HQ: Most religious school parents support LGBT inclusivity – study

A survey reveals that, even in faith-based independent schools, most parents want their children to be taught inclusivity towards sexual orientation, gender identity and gender diversity.

This national survey from Curtin University, reported by Education HQ, is a major rebuff to the notion that religious schools have a mandate to discriminate.
