    A curious objection

    Though I've always felt that devoting months as official pride months is a curious concept I fail to see the difference between a GLBT pride month and an African American pride month (or any other 'group' months).

    Homosexuals are part of our society , and they have made contributions like any other group. The computer stands as a prime example, as Alan Turing (a homosexual) was instrumental in the development of the mathematical basis for computers.

    Homosexuals can look up to Mr. Turing, just as any minority (or the majority) can look up to those who practice the same things that they do and are highly regarded by everyone.

    Such things are of great importance to members of a minority, because seeing people who are also part of that minority celebrated helps raise their own moral.
