Although California recently celebrated the inaugural Harvey Milk Day in honor of the murdered gay rights activist, very few states have successfully included an LGBT-sensitive curriculum into their schools.

In fact, only a handful reference homosexuality or another non-heterosexual sexual identity in a positive light in high school health classes, according to the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States. These states are California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the District of Columbia.

What the Texas School Board can't control, however, is the kids from watching shows like Glee on TV. In this world, being gay and in high school doesn't stop the world from turning like the phobic parents think it will...

Hmmm....

I just realized something.

I am the type of woman that my mother warned me about!

Well like Mae West said "Good girls go to heaven.  Bad girls go EVERYWHERE!"

The most conservative state in this regard, Alabama, is required to reference state laws that ban sodomy, must refer to same sex activity as a public health risk and must state homosexuality is not acceptable to the general public, according to SIECUS.

If this is going to be the state law, then every Alabama classroom needs to have at least one kid in it who can cite Lawrence v. Texas. How could that be accomplished?
