It's not like current history curricula purposely leave out gay contributions. If a gay person contributes something to history, he goes in; if a straight person contributes something to history, he goes in.
idk to what extent this whole thread is trolling or whatever the fuck you people like to do, but this also recently came up elsewhere in my life recently about forcing women studies into the curriculum and it's the same exact thing.

What about learning about the civil rights movement in history class? Should we not teach people about monumental events like that because its forced upon us?
It's exactly the same thing. If the goal is to teach history so that we may avoid repeating our mistakes and understanding how our culture has been shaped, why should we have an issue with gay history being "forced" upon us when we've had civil rights and the women's movement "forced" upon kids for decades now?
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
