The SOPHE code of ethics

How would the SOPHE code of ethics apply to this scenario? You are the health education specialist for a large city hospital. Your supervisor has asked you to develop a program on “safer sex” practices for the gay and lesbian population. The program is to be made available to lesbian and gay groups in the community. Because of your strong religious convictions, your personal values and beliefs are opposed to the gay/lesbian lifestyle and the “safer sex” approach. In addition, you feel uncomfortable dealing with homosexuals in general and especially with anyone who is HIV-positive. How will you handle this situation?
