I mean, I'd have to know what the curriculum is to determine whether or not it is a good thing. But overall I'd say history is history - does it matter what they teach as long as they teach something? The point of learning history is to avoid repeating the bad parts. But people learned all about how terrible Nazis were, and we still have them crawling around, so what's the point, really?
I think to understand a minority it helps to know the history say how would you get your head around racial politics today if you were parachuted in with no knowledge of slavery, segregation/civil rights movement. To the sexuality part maybe within an age constraint, under 12 talk about the different groups in our society, over 12 sexuality needs to be addressed there may be a teen in the class who is confused about what sexuality they are and they need to be comforted.
For elementary/ middle school NOO!! They're still developing and figuring themselves out they don't need too "learn" about this at that age they should just focus on making friends & dealing with what their age needs (i'm a middle school tutor & i don't think it's necessary at their age)
Yes that’d be stupid to teach it for 2 hours, it’s stupid to teach it period. If anything people should be able to sign up for that class, it should not be involuntary.
good. its intriguing, its historical, its a big enough chunk of the population (even without the closeted ones), it would also be interesting to see how cultures not just in different times but different countries responded to it. different cultures have names for it, define it in different ways. I've also heard da vinci, malcolm x and anne frank are gay or bi and im sure there r a lot of lgbtq icons and cultures and subcultures, and it will be interesting to see how they impact the mainstream too. i mean the recent met gala theme was Camp ffs. lgbtq deserves at least needs to be taught about if not quizzed.
@JenSCDC Im sorry you're a degenerate and expect everyone to accept you, but that's not the way the world works, and trying to force children to do so? That's what's ignorant and astounding. Now kindly fuck off :)
It's part of history, so it should be taught. That being said, there are much more important topics that should be taught before LGBTQ history. There's really not enough time to teach all we should know about history, that's the problem. I'm ok with this being taught, but I hope it doesn't get pushed above other important topics (I know it will, but one can only hope).
Being gay isn't politics and most kids are now comfortable to come out. There best friends deserve to be educated about them and they deserve to be educated about themselves. It's time. Even if some dont move with it. Gay people aren't going away lol
Depends on how much time is spend on it. If its a couple afternoon's talking about people differences in interests, sure. But if it fills up the school roster I'd start to get concerned about the implications of it.
kids don’t need to be learning about sexuality. at all. stds and condoms fine. but gay shit and being trans is a no no. tell me one good fucking thing about that instead of calling me ignorant.
I didn't know that it was being taught in schools. That's awesome. If we can learn about the history of nazis (the most evil people), then why can't we learn about LGBT history? They aren't hurting anybody. It might be just taught in the north though.

History takes about an hour.. after that why bother... stuck up political correctness madness police seem to think we need to encourage sexuality... its a personal thing ffs... why the fuck are we phraising something like this when in reality... nobody gives a toss anymore
it's a good thing, a lot of people nowadays don't even know why Pride exists ;) for those reading this who don't know, look up the Stonewall Riots. Basically, gays trans and lesbians were tired of getting harassed and brutalized by police forces and so start a riot to say "i'm gay, i'm proud of it and there is nothing wrong with it" and so New York Pride began. teaching this is school could be a valuable lesson of tolerance and allow youngsters to realize that being different is totally fine
First of we don't care, second now kids must learn extra shit that won't help them? Thirdly fuck this it'll only backfire..
I don't get into this lgbt stuff I don't know shy they're trying so hard to force themselves on the world.. Just do you n do it on your own time, we don't care
I think it should. Homosexuals are part of mankind wheather you like it or not. And their history is that of repression and confussion, we could learn a lot about human nature from that. The issue here is HOW is being taught. They are not teaching kids that's its ok to be gay, they are teaching them that is bad or boring to be straight. Instead of teaching them to accept who they are, they are being taught how to accept their new leaders (So to speak).
I mean, as a regular class or subject in place of something more important in history, no. However, if it's like high school sex ed class, then I suppose that would go with the topic. I'm just glad I'm not in school anymore.
No because of many reasons such as, not really having that many important things to make a subject of it, it would be waste of manpower, money and time because as the lack of content, schools would be better to put all this effort in devoloping the kids minds and how to go on in life etc

As in psychology for mental illness then yes
Since homosexuality is a mental illness
Why do you think so?
It's not natural kind of similar to pedophilia and necrophilia
But unlike most hate groups I see homosexuals as people with mental illness
And like every person with mental illness , they need help
I mean, how long does it take to teach LGBTQ history in school? Like, an hour or two? Why wouldn't we do that?
You’re gay correct?
Not even a little bit. Okay, maybe a teeny-tiny part. I am fabulous, after all.
Uh you already said you were gay from before
I don't recall having said that, and it doesn't sound like something I would say. But if you want to believe that, then sure, I'm gay.
Now, what's that got to do with anything?
Two hours is too damn much first off
To teach kids about the history of a portion of the population they're very likely to encounter several times in their life, if they haven't already?
This doesn't have anything to do with a general dislike of gay people, does it?
Yes that’d be stupid to teach it for 2 hours, it’s stupid to teach it period. If anything people should be able to sign up for that class, it should not be involuntary.
Why do you think it's stupid?

SJWs always lie. Homosexuals are irrelevant historically because they literally cannot continue their lineage if they aren't bi.
LMAO FACTSSSS 🤧
@J3nny Thanks girl, I'll give you a follow ;)
Forced education on others choice of lifestyle is awful, and makes me lose all respect for that group of people.
Your ignorance is astounding.
And sad.
@JenSCDC Im sorry you're a degenerate and expect everyone to accept you, but that's not the way the world works, and trying to force children to do so? That's what's ignorant and astounding. Now kindly fuck off :)
So, when did you join the KKK? Oh, my bad, I confused you with another sort of scum. So sorry.

I wouldn’t say most kids are comfortable to “come out” you don’t know most kids. And people are still judged for it.
I'm not saying people aren't judged. My little brother is gay. I just mean compare today's climate to only a couple of years ago. Different times.
Hmm ok
Depends on how much time is spend on it. If its a couple afternoon's talking about people differences in interests, sure. But if it fills up the school roster I'd start to get concerned about the implications of it.
I don't mind if it's taught, but how its taught.
bad thing. they ban religion but for some reason teaching kids about lgbt things is ok? bullshit. i’d move states. thank God i live in Texas
You didn't need to tell us that you're from Texas. We can tell that from your ignorance.
kids don’t need to be learning about sexuality. at all. stds and condoms fine. but gay shit and being trans is a no no. tell me one good fucking thing about that instead of calling me ignorant.
Yep, you're from Texas alright. Full of hatred and ignorance.
lmao say something intelligent. sorry i just have common sense

Not a bad thing, but i find it unnecessary tbh lol.
