I'm trying to think of a "gay" contribution to history that is of any significance. Harvey Milk? Besides being gay, and being assassinated (by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. NOT because he was gay) did he invent the lightbulb or something?

This is so stupid. PC gone wild.

That's the real problem here. I'm not as concerned about Milk about whom there is no question but there's scant verifiable history on who was homosexual and who was not in history.

Who knows how extensive revisionism could get. In the recent past it was claimed Lincoln was gay. I noticed even in the early 90s gays activists would 'adopt' peoples, living and historical, as gays even when it evidence was non existent. The question is what standards will the educational establishment use to determine who was or wasn't gay?
