I didn't read the article - because I don't read. I just read the synopsis given by our friendly troll slathar. the term was "gay history" so I suppose I just assumed history class? Probably also has to do with the fact I'm a product of the nyc public school system and our only social science was history :P
but ya either way, I guarantee they'll mandate it in history classes as well (wtf do I have to guarantee with, I'm just pretty sure). The main thing I did originally was draw the parallel to an issue brought up in a class I had about integrating "women's history month" into the curriculum on the whole. Seeing as how women's history month didn't actually exist and was more of an idea, my above points about a presumably 100% efficient curriculum (regardless of race gender or sexual orientation) being dulled by forcing the, by definition, less important facts of history which include the two letters "fe" before the word "male" still hold, under the assumption it'll invade history classes merely because someone who did something notable was gay.
