From the GLAAD web site:

“Leading the conversation. Shaping the media narrative. Changing the culture. That’s how GLAAD accelerates acceptance for LGBTQ people.”

From the GLSEN web site:

“Championing LGBTQ issues in K-12 education since 1990”

Parents with children in Kindergarten need to wake up and realize that children aren’t mentally or emotionally prepared for propaganda. Are these books going to include LGBT individuals that were involved in criminal activities? By only putting a positive spin on LGBT people - one that is not balanced - is that real, factual history? And no, I am not encouraging the idea that anyone be bullied. Far from it. The truth and the whole truth, that’s all.

Are there examples of people of historical importance from that community?
 
Alan Turing, a mathematician who broke the German Enigma codes during World War II. He was issued a posthumous royal pardon in 2013 by the Queen of England.
 
Oh jeeze how I could forget him. I just watched that movie a month ago.
 
The history of the community itself is important. We’re all part of history and we’re making history every day.
 
I guess kids can’t learn about history without knowing the bedroom weirdnesses of the historical figures, huh?
 
In some, or perhaps many, cases, sexual ‘orientations’ are simply attributed to historical figures who never claimed them. After all, LGBT “history” only goes back several decades.
 
Well, to be fair, I never once learned about the religious backgrounds of any of the historical figures we covered in school. There’s a lot of devout Catholics and Protestants who contributed to the sciences and arts, it would have been nice to know “where they were coming from”, as it were. But, that’s just me.
 
Vatican Charter on the Rights of the Family. 1982. I feel like this document answers a lot of these political arguments – not sure how many people know it.

I don’t see the need to mention their sexuality—kids will figure that out on their own. But there are certainly many gay people who have made important contributions to the world.
 
They don’t teach what happens in the bedroom. Nobody ever taught me how Harvey Milk liked it in bed. But these people exist in the public sphere and the interactions with the public sphere is important. Like any community is important to learn about.
 
How does being homosexual, or not, contribute to what they did in the public sphere? Like Alan Turing.
 
I will repeat myself. The history of the community itself is important. We’re all part of history and we’re making history every day.
 
You can repeat yourself if you want, but it would be more meaningful if you answered Ed’s question.

Do you really expect us to buy that in this era of LGBTQIA activism and same sex marriage?

Personally I think y’all need to go back to school and learn where kids come from, about the reproductive system and reasoning skills so you don’t swallow all the propaganda without question, but if you went back to school in this you would more likely be more confirmed in your delusions unfortunately.

Thank you for reading.
