I disagree with you one one point - I don't see how they can teach kids about gay rights and the history of gay people if they don't teach them what 'gay' means (but I still agree that they should teach it).

@SharpesAccomplice I didn't say anything about not teaching kids what "gay" means. What I said was they don't talk about the act of gay sex in graphic detail. I agree that kids need to be taught what being gay means if they're going to understand gay history, but they don't need explicit details to do that, nor do they receive such.

These people still think if you hear the word "gay" often enough, you will be.

@Sarahon06 Just like those wonderful people in Tennessee! ;)

Stef made a video? I guess sometimes prayers are answered. :P

Speaking of gay history, we owe a huge debt for the founding of this country to a Prussian named Baron von Steuben. At the start of the war, the Continental Army basically stunk. Then this guy showed up and developed an actual training program. Yet even today, history books often merely imply that he was gay rather than just say it. Are they afraid that kids will think he gave Washington gay cooties or something?

@PJsCreed I wasn't aware of that. Just another reason we need gay history in schools! :)

@stefzula I disagree with you .I think they shouldn't teach black history they shouldnt even call it black history.Its american history..They shouldn't give special attention some groups.They should just add them to american history.BTW tolrance doesnt have to accept somebody as person,It means you tolerate them.BTW congrats on getting engage to one of my favorite youtubers.

Some of the nicest people I know are gay. So what? It's their life, they can live it how they want.
