Gay rights groups have criticised Hunterhouse College in Belfast over the phrasing of questions about homosexuality in a GCSE practice paper.
A Belfast school has apologised after complaints were made about a worksheet on religious views on homosexuality.
Hunterhouse College in Belfast has withdrawn the worksheet after the father of one student complained.
The three questions appeared in a Religious Studies worksheet.
The school said they have an ethos of inclusivity and the worksheet was part of a wider discussion on sexuality on both sides of the debate including extreme opinions.
The questions were in relation to 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 and were set by teaching staff.
They included:
What do these verses tell us about homosexuals?
Who else is included with homosexuals?
What hope is there for all these people?

Nice to see you. NOt sure what this response is all about, but I'm glad you came by.
I hadn't seen the latest Texas textbook disaster. They really set a low bar, don't that.
Have a great thanksgiving!
