Because this is sooooo important.......we're fucking doomed!!!!
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people would be added to the lengthy list of social and ethnic groups that public schools must include in social studies lessons under a landmark bill passed Thursday by the California Senate.
If the bill is adopted by the state Assembly and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, California would become the first state to require the teaching of gay history.
Supporters say the move is needed to counter anti-gay stereotypes and beliefs that make children in those groups vulnerable to bullying and suicide.
Opponents counter that such instruction would further burden an already crowded curriculum and expose students to a subject that some parents find objectionable.
The legislation, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Mark Leno of San Francisco, passed on a 23-14 party line vote. It also would add disabled people to the curriculum.
The bill gives school districts flexibility in deciding what to include in the lessons and at what grades students would receive them.
But starting in the 2013-14 school year, it would prohibit districts and the California Board of Education from using textbooks or other instructional materials that reflect adversely on gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
Appealing to colleagues for support, Leno said gay children still struggle routinely with verbal and physical abuse at school, even though society is more accepting than when he was a gay youth in the 1960s.
"We are second-class citizens and children are listening," he said. "When they see their teachers don't step up to the plate when their classmate is being harassed literally to death, they are listening and they get the message that there is something wrong with those people."
Republican Sen. Doug La Malfa of Butte opposed the bill.
"I'm deeply troubled kids would have to contemplate at a very, very early age, when many of us are teaching abstinence ... what is sexuality," he said.
California law already requires schools to cover the contributions to the state and nation of women, African Americans, Mexican Americans, entrepreneurs, Asian Americans, European Americans, American Indians and labor.

"Gay History"? What exactly is that? What a fucking waste of time and energy, the kids are always saying history is gay, guess they are now correct

Oh and for you folks with kids......apparently California sorta sets the tone for text book manufacturing so expect to see the life and times of butt pirate gay bathhouse frequenting Harvey Milk coming to your school soon.

KC doesn't what they're doing in California conflict with your opinion that the homosexual community just wants to be left alone?
I don't think the gay community really cares if you think it's normal or not. They just want the government to recognize their lifelong commitments to each other and move on.
Just like you most want to be left alone, without fear of reprisals and equal under the law for their partnerships.

Genesis 19:4-5 (New International Version, ©2011)
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

The gay agenda...no more dadt...gay history...gay TV....at some point there will be a backlash..and they'll wish there was a closet to hide in. Instead of getting to the point where people will just leave them alone in peace...they continue to push. I imagine if you polled the average gay person they'd just assume that these radical fags would just please stop. I bet we'd get civil unions for all and that would be the end of it.

Many gays and Muslims do not want equal rights. What they want is special rights!

Gay history CUMS in 2 parts:
1. I got plowed up the fartlocker and then plowed him .
2. I sucked his wanker and he tossed my salad :-*
The rest is trivial details. The names and faces may change but the bumhole and balls are always hairy.
