Schools will be encouraged to hold lessons exploring the achievements of gay men and women throughout history as part of the first gay history month.
The project, to be held in February, will highlight the hidden history of household names who would probably today identity as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, such as William Shakespeare, who was rumoured to be bisexual, and Florence Nightingale, who few people know was a lesbian.
Other events covered during the month will include talks on the early years of gays and lesbians in British television and discussions of the history of the British LGBT Muslim movement. Pupils will also study modern gay icons such as Freddie Mercury and Sir Ian McKellen, alongside more historical gay and bisexual figures such as Isaac Newton and Alexander the Great.
The voluntary initiative, modelled on the successful black history month held each October, is being backed by the government and has been given a grant by the Department for Education and Skills. It will be officially launched at the Houses of Parliament on February 7.
Jacqui Smith, the government minister responsible for equality, said: "I hope that lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender groups and their supporters across the country will take the opportunity to participate in the month and organise LGBT events in their areas. I believe the month will be important in helping to drive the culture change to create a more inclusive society. It will also be a great opportunity to uncover some hidden LGBT histories."
The scheme was designed by Schools Out! - a group campaigning for LGBT equality in schools - to get gay issues onto the curriculum. They will also encourage libraries, theatres, sports clubs and councils across the country to hold events.
Nigel Tart, from Schools Out, said: "Since the 80s, LGBT issues have been squeezed out of subjects like history, English and drama. Today's students only encounter them, if at all, in relation to bullying, sex education and Aids. LGBT history month is our first major project to reclaim our place in the curriculum."
It is not know how many schools will be involved in the project but Stephen Twigg, minister for school standards, said the government would be encouraging schools to sign up.
Wow. That's some list. I've bookmarked it for future reference. Freakin' unbelievable.
I guess they would like to insert them back in!
Queerism, just like Communism and Nazism...trying to take over the world - maybe it is a form of genocide, turn everyone into a fag and end the human race.

The commentator declared that the "homosexual former public school boy " air ace won the battle. Now get this: "Over the masculine Luftwaffe". Honest- I would not invent this.
Turns out the bulk of the pilots in fighter planes (re an actual wing commander interviewed) were Flight Sergeants. Lower middle class or middle class people. In those days sodamy got a man, a possible seven years durance and lasting disgrace. Courts Martial offence. It is to be presumed the heroes of the Battle of Britain were jolly well- 'er normal. LOL
This guy has two of those three bases covered. From google search - Nigel Tart, the Green Party's national spokesperson on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues,....
Fag Newton!
Even IF this were true, I wasn't there so..., how is this important to history?
My brother was treated by Dr. Swango after a motorcycle accident.
Fortunately for him, Dr. Swango only saw him in the ER. He was under the care of a Neurologist after his admission to the hospital. There were a couple of mysterious deaths within a 2-3 month time frame in which he was a patient.
I believe that they're working on that.
Apparently they have no problem with that.
But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit and-loss sheet or rating book to distract you--and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - ISAAC NEWTON WAS "GAY"?????
Gimme a freaking break. It is very very easy to say "so and so was gay" since that person is long gone and cannot defend himself. I haven't read the comments yet; maybe someone has shot this down.I do know that if any historical figure wrote affectionate letters to a friend of the same sex they consider that evidence of sexual perversion. They think the word "love" means "sodomy" and vice versa.
"Gay" activists need to STFU and get back in the closet. See what will happen if they are not forced back into the closet? They want total dominance. Do we want "gay" masters?
Let me know (and DirtyHarryY2K and ItsOurTimeNow) know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Thanks for the list - maybe you should make sure those educators in Great Britain get a copy so their lesson plans can be complete.
Ha.
Joseph Sobran???
Read "The Pink Swastika" by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams for a very readable and well researched history of Nazism and its connection with homosexuality. Also, "Hidden Hitler" by Lothar Machtan (German historian), he posits that Hitler was a homosexual and it is also very convincing.
