[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;27595465]if you have white history month or straight history month, its discriminating against gays and blacks. /rolleyes[/QUOTE]
There is a white history month. It runs from March through January. Straight history month runs every month that isn't gay history month.
That's because the protect majority who never faced anywhere near the same hardship that minorities faced don't get a month of recognition, they've had an entire history of it.
People don't seem to get this, it's not forcing lessons, it's the equivalent of all the teachers when they go to 'professional development' they're telling the staff proper ways to increase the comfort zone of something that's often perceived as weird or wrong. It's not like they stop class, the teacher pulls out a letter and tells the class to solve this gay math problem where Tony's figuring out how much change he'll get for a wristband at the gay bar.
Pride week seems like enough, a month would be cool though- it's not like we do shit on black history month, you just get the occasional commercial on TV talking about a black person in history for 30 seconds.

This is getting to the point where people are treating gays as greater beings to avoid a homophobic label much like people treating blacks like a higher being to avoid being called racist

If you mean being able to say the n word in public a golden treat then yes I guess. But besides that I dont see what you mean.

I suggest that we also teach about straight people and celebrate heterosexuality. Wouldn't that make sense to do too?

kids grow up in an environment that celebrates heterosexuality
it's not like they call things they dislike "straight"

Because two men making out is gross. And yes I know they find straight people gross too.
That's the way it is. No it doesn't mean I hate gays, I just find them gross.

This isn't suggesting teaching nothing but gay, it's suggesting we mix it in, rather than wasting an entire year of classes learning about the same thing, we learn about all history as a whole. I wish they did that with black history rather than give me a class that's basically american history but instead of learning about american history we learn about how many black people wrote poems before the civil war.

You aren't being realistic, no one would call discrimination on that. However, if it was "I'm proud to be straight/white, fuck those stupid gay freaks and dumb niggers" (which some of those "proud moments" are), then you can expect people to be upset about it.
This could be a good thing guys, it will help prevent homophobia.
i think this is a good idea. we should definitely make homosexuality seem far more mainstream in school, because in school is where there is A LOT of prejudice against gays and it's where these prejudices grow.

so by your logic if we penalized people because something that a minority of people thought were gross
you'd want to penalize straight people kissing

Well, personally I don't understand why [I]anyone[/I] takes pride in their race, sexuality or nationality. You are who you are and that's the end of it. I would say I'm merely satisfied with who I am. I'm fine with being white, straight and English and I'm sure there are people that are just fine with being black, gay and French. I'm not "proud" of how I was born, that seems retarded to me. That's like being "proud" that I have legs.

If you read the article, these are just suggestions. 99% of teachers won't end up following these.

of course you're fine with being white and straight, you've never had to face the kind of prejudice that gays or blacks have.

Bringing it up in contexts where it doesn't make any sense doesn't do anything to stop them from looking abnormal.
Black history month, LGTB history month...
Jesus fuck it just keeps getting more and more schizo by the year.
