A great many of the claimed "gay" historic figures (King David? Michelangelo? Abraham Lincoln?) have to be retrofitted with a fantasized "gay" identity which they mysteriously did not possess in their lifetimes. (The Past sure ain't what it used to be.)

More modern figures who indisputably did engage in homosexual behavior, were also married (to a person of the other sex) and engaged in heterosexual behavior.

Oscar Wilde was married to Constance Lloyd, and they had two sons. The Episocopal bishop in New Hampshire, the Rev. Gene Robinson, was married and likewise had two children with his wife. New Jersey governor Jim McGreeey married twice and had children with both of his wives, before he famously announced he was gay.

Which raises many questions, including:

Are all sexual behaviors the basis of an identity group and a claim of historic "specialness" in the California school system?

Will there be multiple study units to recognize the cultural contributions of, say,

-Polygamists as such? (Lots of them, and many of them Biblical.)

-Celibates as such? (A big roster of greats here, many of them in the Catholic Church.)

-Adulterers as such? (A huge list... and for so many centuries disrespected, misunderstood, and in the closet!)

-And even, married heterosexual people as such? Are the public schools going to be fully invested in Married Hetero Studies? Great Married Heteros of America? Married Hetero History Week?

If the California public schools are going to "recognize" people's historic achievements mainly in sexual categories, it's going to be increasingly complicated to put together a curriculum.

Poor students. Of course, the fact that so many of them are illiterate simplifies things considerably.

Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer?

Hey, I thought it was N-word Jim who was supposed to be the gay one.

this topic could certainly be discussed intelligently among upperclassmen in a high school

Maybe, but what possible benefit would there be? And why would homosexuals want to be associated with a destructive butcher like Alexander, a destructive hack economist like Keynes, or the unreadable James Baldwin?

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup,

Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair.

That little faggot's got his own jet airplane.

That little faggot, he's a millionaire.

*whew* Nothing like reciting a few banned lyrics to make one feel like a real rebel. Let 'em come and get me. I won't teach their view of history, except to point out the dangers involved with the gay lifestyle. GRID, anyone??

California is our second Homosexual State after Massachusetts. These states have systems run by and for homosexuals. Thewre will be others. For a group so small in number they wield a tremendous amount of power.

Ronald Reagan was every bit as gay as Abraham Lincoln then?

Poor students. Of course, the fact that so many of them are illiterate simplifies things considerably.

And the fact that teachers teach *this* and not reading, writing and arithmetic is going to assure that they'll likely stay illiterate.

Homosexuals exist. From Alexander the Great

Sorry, but despite the propaganda that began to circulate 100s of years after his death it is very doubtful that ol Alex was homosexual. He had two wives at least, a very long term mistress and a number of short term mistresses. While you can explain the wives and their kids as political the mistress is a little harder to explain if he was into men. At most he was mildly bi-sexual.

He did have close male friends, this used to be considered normal before the 1960s. After that men were not suppose to have any close male friends, just guys that you watched games with and never, ever talked to.

I will not get on my soap box about how that has damaged the modern male physic but IMHO between that and the lack of fathers in the home it is a wonder that there are as many stable strong men around as there are.
