State Sen. Mark Leno, a San Francisco Democrat, introduced legislation this week that would amend the state education code, mandating that LGBT history be included in the curriculum of public schools.

Some would consider me a ‘homophobic’ where I see gay and lesbianism as perverse and against His Word.
But schools are to prepare students for the outside world and since their movement will continue to grow, exposure in the class from an unbiased study ‘might’ be good.
