Should we teach gay history in school?

[fukitol]

We teach about the struggles of other minorities in history, like women, African-Americans, ect. Living in Texas, I even had courses in college that offer the "hispanic american experience". Yet..nothing about gay history like the Stonewall riots, Harvey Milk, or anything. For most gay/lesbian people, they don't learn about anything in queer culture until college, and even then it's basic biology things like sexual orientation taught in a bio class or psychology class. Maybe a little on gender identity in a sociology class. Do you think this is important? Do you think this is fair?
You act like gays don't matter or haven't made important contributions in history? What about this?

Alan Turing invented the computer you are using right now. He also cracked the Nazi military code and saved England from being overrun by the Nazis in WW2, he was by any standards a gigantic hero. Unfortunately he committed suicide when moralists after the victory in WW2 hounded him because he was gay. A great loss for us all.

Walt Whitman..famous writer and poet, was gay.

It is suggested that Abraham Lincoln may have been gay.

The Sistine Chapel, was painted by a gay man..Leonardo DiVinci.

Michelangelo was gay.

We study THESE things, but we never mention that they were gay.

We never study the fight for civil rights by mentioning things like the Stonewall riots or Harvey Milk. But we study the civil rights movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
These answers are the very REASON this is important. This is why they aren' t accepted as equals in society because no one thinks they matter or have made contributions to society. People think they are just sexual perverts, but they are so much more and they've done a lot to shape our society. They've given us art, theatre, culture, fashion, and diversity.

The Stonewall riots were actually a step in the direction of civil rights just as much as Martin Luther King Jr. was for black americans, but no one knows about that (unless you're gay or lesbian maybe)
