I'm sorry. The more I read about modern Great Britain, the more I fear for their future. Pathetic.

It's easy to slander the dead.

And despicable, of course, but consider the source; what did we expect from these people?

Everyone was gay, except for Mohammed. The human live cycle is now embryo - fetus - baby- child - teenager - adult - senior citizen - death - start voting democratic - become homosexual.

Everybody in the whole damn world from the beginning of time was gay. It's a miracle the human race has been able to procreate to the present day.

By the standards of scholarship they are using, anyone that wore purple was a homosexual. That would mean every Royal.

The sexual orientation of anyone famous is open to public scrutiny unless they are famous for their crimes, such as Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy or the Chief of the Nazi SA, Ernst Roehm. Then it so happens that sexual orientation is not germane somehow.

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."

What place in curriculum does sexual behavior have? O.K., maybe a drama queen, but history? English?

Occasionally our inevitable passing-on takes on a tinge of desirability. The limits of man's foolishness and downright depravity seem to be non-existant I cannot but feel sorry for younger generations.

While we must fight to the very best of our abilities, the battle does at times, seem daunting.

But we need to realize that heterosexuality is a relatively new thing in the history of man. For most of history, up until the time of our grandparents, people were content to be sodomites. Don't you get it?

FURY AT KIDS GAY-LEVELS

Now it's homosexual history lessons in primary schools Pupils will be taught: Shakespeare was a fairy Florence Nightingale was a secret lesbian

By Nigel Nelson


KIDS are to get bizarre gay history lessons - to teach them that William Shakespeare was a homosexual.

Pupils as young as five will also be taught that nursing heroine Florence Nightingale was a lesbian.

The "Gay Level" studies - backed by schools minister Stephen Twigg have triggered outraged protests.

Shadow education minister Chris Grayling condemned the politically correct brainwave as "just extraordinary".

Children in all primary and secondary schools will be offered lessons which concentrate on the gay and lesbian lives of key figures from history.

Pupils will be told how the Bard fancied fellas - and the Lady with the Lamp secretly carried a torch for the girls.

Although there have been suggestions that the nation's greatest dramatist and most famous nurse fancied members of their own sex nothing has ever been proved for sure.

Mr Grayling stormed: "It's rewriting history. This is a disservice to the memory of two of Britain's greatest figures. It will create a new image of them based on speculation rather than knowledge and diverts from their real achievements. And it doesn't do gay and lesbian people any favours."

Shadow young people's minister Charles Hendry added: "This is going to lead to unnecessary confrontation because the debate will be about if someone was gay or not.

"We should be concentrating on their contributions. This is a distraction and a bit of an own goal."

Children will also learn about modern gay icons like actor Sir Ian McKellen and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS. It is even possible that older children will write essays on aspects of gay history such as male brothels and "cottaging" - meeting in toilets for illicit sex.

The lessons are part of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month, organised by Schools Out, a support group for gay and lesbian teachers. They follow the idea of the Black History Month taught in many schools.

The Government is spending thousands of pounds on a website with material for teachers.

"We will encourage schools to take part," said Mr Twigg.

Equality minister Jacqui Smith added: "The month will be important in helping to drive the culture change to create a more inclusive society.

"It will be a great opportunity to uncover hidden lesbian, gay and bisexual histories."

And Schools Out spokesman Nigel Tart, a 39-year-old maths teacher, said: "Lesbian, gay and bisexual issues have been squeezed out of subjects like history, English and drama.

"This is our first major project to reclaim our place in the curriculum."

Schools Out also suggests that kids organise gay fashion shows. And pupils could re-enact early Christian ceremonies in which it says same-sex couples were blessed in churches.

But a top Anglican churchman insisted: "That just never happened." And a Church of England spokesman said: "If this reconstruction is based on little or no evidence then its inclusion could not be justified."

So the gay community has supposedly gone from the likes of Shakespeare and Isaac Newton to dead singers and 'Magneto' from the X-men? Kind of a sharp decline in quality, isn't it?

I think I read that Oscar Wilde was straight.  Liberace too.  Not sure about Jm J Bullock.

"... and Florence Nightingale, who few people know was a lesbian."

And even fewer give a s4!t. Eventually the queers will claim that ALL of our forefathers were fags.

Gereal Custer was gay. Look at his hair and his penchant for primping all of the time. John L. Sullivan was gay, look at the tights he wore to box, only a gay man would wear those. Batman and Robin were gay. A rich older guy and a young teen living together?

These people are reaching I tel, ya!

You notice they never go after Hitler, Torquemada, Lizzie Borden, or Sting. And Michael Jackson is a big, strapping ladies man on their books.
