Personally I have absolutely no problem with gays, and even support the idea of them getting married. That being said, teaching gay history because a gay state senator thinks it's a good idea is pure idiocy.

If it is a required course, obviously it will be taking time away from others.

History classes focusing on any particular group, whether it be white, black, gay, 3 legged midgets, etc etc should all be done away with.
This is nothing more than a gay state senator who wants his lifestyle the focus of a class.
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.

No, history classes should be filled with relevant history that is acceptable for children to learn, not history about a persons sexual preference and whether or not they like to have sex with men or women, cause guess what, once it is history, it means your dead and when your dead, whether you liked penis or vagina is irrelevant, only your actions concerning your impact of society matter.

Ok....... Gay history huh? I guess we should include teaching the history of bestiality, pedophilia, necrophilia and lets not stop there, we should also teach why fuzzy handcuffs are sold, why there are holes in stalls at adult movie theaters and why they sell motorized "equipment" at your local lovers lane........

Wow. Thank you for so clearly illustrating the bigotry this law is specifically targeting from those who have a knee-jerk reaction against homosexuals

Gay people are not a race! There is no minority factor here, you are the SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE, the only difference is you seem to have to push what you like in the bedroom on everyone around you and then cry discrimination, give me a break.....

I see. So your objection to the legislation is that History should only teach about different races, and not political and social/economic classes?

Political and social/economic classes? I'm sorry, is being gay a third party I haven't heard about? Is there a special medium light middle class for gays outside of our normal low / middle / high system?

I'm confused. You are saying you think Race should be taught in history, but not anything else? What are you trying to say?

The fact is, gays are in every race in every country of the world, it is not a culture, it is not a movement, it is nothing more than...... Sexual preference.
