ok so um.....
2 simple yes or no questions:
Should the rights of one supercede the rights of another?
Should one group have more rights while infringing upon anothers?

ok so you are mentally incapable of answering 2 simple yes or no questions.
Not surprising given your previous posts.
Fortunately for followers of this thread, you have now proven you are irrelevant and clearly aren't capable of holding an intellectual debate.
This is just like Terrorism! And the Nazis! Yeah, Hitler was all about forcing people to learn about teh gays.

How on earth does a gay lifestyle enter into that equation????

I am curious as to why you said that homosexual children need the recognition of gay historical figures.
What lead you to this conclusion? Do gay children who aren't aware of a historical figure's sexuality suffer somehow?

It's very curious that when all of that delicious Italian erotic love poetry of Michelangelo (Buonarroti) which had been penned over several decades to various male lovers (most of them much younger than the painter-sculptor...) was finally up for printed publication in Rome in the 1570's the printers were advised to change all the pronouns from HIM / HE to 'HER / SHE' etc. so the common herd (especially church-goers) would never know that Michelangelo himself was a homosexual male leading an active homosexual lifestyle until his mid 70s.
At what age should teachers begin to tell their classes that Michelangelo, Leonardo DaVinci, Alexander the Great, the Roman Emperor Hadrian, composers Peotr Tschaikovsky, Franz Schubert, Aaron Copeland & Leonard Bernstein, actor John Gielgud, poet Wilfred Owen, playwright Oscar Wilde, poet Lord Byron or even President James Buchanan and countless other famous homosexuals in history all had male lovers throughout their lives?
Some say Junior High (4th form) while others say not before High School (Brit. 5th-6th form). But eventually schoolchildren will have to be told what the real world is really like...
And how does someone else's gayness affect you or your child again?

My son's social studies book pays homage to so many different ethnic and cultural groups, there's hardly any space for actual history lessons. He gets a basic overview of each historical event. If Illinois decides to add gay history to the mix, I'm looking into private school regardless of cost. Where we live, in a small town, it seems like everytime I turn around someone different is coming out. Are there really that many gay people out there, or is it just "in vogue" right now? Seriously, you have multiple girlfriends(boyfriends), get married, have children, then out of the blue decide you are attracted to the opposite sex? I wonder if the gays who were gay when gay wasn't cool get offended by all this?
Taking aspirin is playing God as well.

That would require every person becoming homosexual, and excluding the technique of artificial insemination. Even if everybody suddenly became gay we could still reproduce without the use of heterosexual sex.
Artificial insemination is man playing God.
This is not the way God intended it to be.
Man is subverting creation on all levels
else we would not have a place called
the LHC creating the God Particle.

Why can't gays shut up and live their lives without trying to cram it down my throat (no pun intended)?
