Oh, and there is no such thing as transgendered, only mutilitated freaks.
How many historic figures are “trans-whatever”? Are we going to study the history of Chazz Bono on Dancing With The Stars?
And who else is historic? Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell, Harvey Milk, Village People, RuPaul, Rock Hudson, Billie Jean King, Elton John?
The school kids may well end up learning about people in the popular culture as part of history, assuming some serious attempt is made to measure some historic achievements of LGBT peoples. But then we could ask if learning about Rosie O’Donnell and her history is a good use of class time.
Reminds me of the line from “Airplane!” about a pamphlet about famous Jewish sports legends.
