His&His-tory

According to "gay WPLJ" in California the congress is trying to pass a law madated that GLBT's contribution to history is mandatory in schools. I 100% think this is a positive thing, I think it could lessen people prejudices to learn that Walt Whitman (official poet of America) was gay and there could be interesting debates over whether or not Lincoln or whoever was... My only issue is that we hardly have women in history books, and forget about people of color, where's the laws for that? It just seems they skipped a few steps before including GLBT, just cause it's the "in" minority does not mean they get to skip to the head of the line.
