So just wanted to post this to prepare cali. :happycry:

Its not a history, its a personal choice for people. Not something that should be taught

But basically saying it HAS to be taught in school is like promoting/teaching younger children to be gay. Thats my train of though anyways

So I guess teaching them about straight people makes them all heterosexual

I agree, all these laws do nothing but alienate gays even more. We don't pause every time we teach a history lesson and say "George Washington was the 1st President of the United States of America. He was STRAIGHT. Abraham Lincoln saw the country through the Civil War, he was ALSO STRAIGHT." so why should we with gays? If we want to accept them like we do straight people we sure as hell aren't going to this way, we're just labeling them out as ""different" even earlier for kids.

Whether you want to admit it or not gay people are just as important and capable as straight people are. It might do some people well to set aside their differences and just accept this as a step forward in the gay community.
Why should it be relevant, really? If we want them to be accepted more in society, it's not going to happen by pointing them out in history as "different".
