[ConservativeStatement]

After making its way through the state Senate's Judiciary and Education Committees over the last month, a bill that would require schools to incorporate information on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Americans into their curricula passed by 23-14 on the Senate floor Thursday. The measure, which goes to the Assembly next, addresses high bullying rates of LGBT youth and the absence of LGBT Americans from official accounts of history in school curricula. It would expand on existing laws that require instructional materials to include accurate portrayals of the role and contribution of culturally and racially diverse groups.

That list, which includes Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and others, would be revised to include Pacific Islanders, LGBT Americans and those with disabilities.

Pretty soon we will have a national Gay American month. Maybe Gaypril.

June...definitely June....

It's such a gay month...flowers are out...birds are singing...bees are buzzing...and gays are flaming....

[Grams A]

When I was growing up gay meant happy. Seems to me like these folks are always complaining about something and appear to be unhappy so I think we should call them Ungays!

[Pearls Before Swine]

Think about it: Where would AIDS research be now without gays?

[ColdOne]

Naw.....April showers bring Gay Flowers??

And the first lesson should be:

AIDS: Sodomites' contribution to the world

Isn’t that just fabulous? Stop teaching about the Founding Fathers, American heroes and those who made America the greatest country in the world and start filling their young skulls full of mush with stories about pedophiles and other sexual perverts. America, you really need some help right now.

Its no wonder so many kids are getting out of school with little usable education. Their school hours are filled with useless crap like this.

Let's not just teach about "American" contributions let's teach about worldwide contributions! Can I teach the first topic....

Life in Sodom & Gomorrah

I overheard a conversation a few weeks ago between a male and female. The female was showing photos of a family function (perhaps Christmas). She described each person in the photo and followed it by the relation and his or her occupation. Example (and I am creating the names) “That's my Uncle Bill, he is a fireman.” “That's my brother Joe, he is a policeman.” Then it came to her cousin Tim. She said “That is my cousin Tim, he is gay, we are so proud of him.” I guess that is now a source of pride.

Remove your children from these perverse schools. Screw the reprobates. God will soon deal with them. Our duty is to keep our children out of the hands of evil men, no matter what it cost in treasure... and perhaps blood. We know that these reprobates will never listen to sound reason, so we waste our time to bother with them. Leave the community, for eventually these disease-ridden slobs will be the death of themselves... and good riddance to them.

June...definitely June...

No, it has to be during the school year so they can celebrate it. I thinking December because of Christmas or April for Easter. Whatever infuriates the most. That way the urge to bully will be at its peak.

Is there a measure passed to teach students contributions made by left-handed Americans? That would be far more interesting to me than a history of rectal fetishes. It's time to take every last child out of the reach of these "leaders".

“June...definitely June....”

In June the weather is warm enough to march in your g-string. That is why the sodomite pride parades are in June.

I’m sure Americans are all so “proud” of their gay family members. LOL!

The upside of this is that American History books have always been very thick and heavy to carry. Now, with “homosexual history” being all the rage, the kids will only need to carry around a pamphlet.

[Lazlo in PA]

What have gays contributed that are positive to America exactly? I have a hard time even coming up with any gays that did anything worth mentioning.

It would expand on existing laws that require instructional materials to include accurate portrayals of the role and contribution of culturally and racially diverse groups.

In a time within my own memory those "culturally and racially diverse groups" were called Americans. Residents of this country are now defined more by what separates us than what unites us thanks to the anti-American Left.

AIDS!!!
