As to the Category A and B outline is to show that ANY sexual activity (whether homosexual or heterosexual) would be reported by the school. Since it's already reported, why have a new law just for "homosexual activity"?
Unfortunately, just stating your own view of cat a and cat b doesn't accomplish that.
If a School Counselor see's two guys walking down the hall holding hands is that reportable under the premise that they might be having sex?
Possibly.
If a School Counselor see's a guy and a girl walking down the hall holding hands is that reportable under the premise that they might be having sex?
Possibly.
Should the situations be treated the same or differently?
The same. Unfortunately, our schools treat and view homosexual kids differently. They hold them, and themselves, to a different standard based upon the child's alleged "homosexuality". They think if a kid is gay, then they no longer have to report suspected sexual abuse. That's what the bill is about.

Sadly, they function under the misapprehension that they can ignore their responsibilities as mandatory reporters if they suspect children are engaging in sodomy, and withhold the information from the authorities and the child's parents. In fact, they go so far as to encourage homosexual activity, simply by right of refusing to report it, and standing between a child and his or her parents as some sort of "homosexual act defender". Reference Amy's many posts to the tune of: "Sex between children is legal, do you hear? It's LEGAL an the parents don't need to know!"
See this is where the logic fails.
You say that heterosexual and homosexual "sexual activity" should be treated the same, yet this law ONLY requires the reporting of homosexual activity to a different degree then would apply to heterosexuals.
If the law was intended to apply equally to both groups it would not have been written in the context of homosexual activity, it would have been written in view of "sexual activity" equally applicable to both.

I've addressed this, specifically, several times. It's time to move on. The schools think they have a pass on mandatory reporting when it comes to homosexual students; this law specifies that they don't.
Next.
