gay day...

I don't neccessarily agree on the theme of this new acknowledment of Gay History and what a figure Harvey Milk was to the GLBT community, but definetly do believe in speaking and aknowledging our struggle in society . Just as we recognize other "patrons" or hero's to movements that effect all American Society. If you think LGBT issues don't touch on all aspects just read any news. However...I do agree that our children do not need another whole day to focus on subjects other than the academics, but if we did this one, we'd have to do the other ones that give kids a free day or a whole MONTH that focus' on other than basic academic issues. We've removed our children so far from basic curriculum needed to survive and become prosperous, productive memebers of society. Just like is hammered for hetro marriage (the purpose) school is meant to teach the next generation so they know how to move through the world and to work for the greater good of the world, to maintain our great country in the future, and not be ingnorant to how it all works and why. This is not to say I think HMD should not be, I do think he should be recognized and honored for his work on our behalf, I just don't know that we have to have a whole day away from basic curriculm to do it, and to call it "gay day".
We will be called out as having agendas', indoctrinations, ect ect...one finger pointing out 3 pointing back. Again, can't "teach" someone to be gay, just like you can't teach me to be straight...children are naturally curious, smoking , drinking, sex , stealing, are just a few of where they'll adventure to no matter what we do as parents...they need to experience and learn as they go for themselves, we just need to be there to help them when they fall or bump their knees.
