Shannon: I asked you to come over here because it's difficult to stomach the comments from the idiots who follow you on FB.
You know damn well that the "theory of creationism" just came dangerously close to passage in your home state of Texas and is supported by a majority of Republican candidates for the presidency.
Shame on you for promotong homophobia...
Howey, what does one's sexual orientation have to do with their contributions to history? Read my previous posts. If you contributed to history, we teach about it. What does it matter that you are gay? Gay people have contributed to history since the beginning of time, valuable contributions. Does their sexuality make their contributions any more or less historic? I don't care that Tennesee Williams was gay, I do however value his literary works. Why does everyone have to have their sexuality as an identifier next to their
name?
You know me Howey. I may be conservative but I support gay rights, gay marriage, gay adoption etc. But to teach "gay history" is idiotic, divisive and counter productive.
