In other news Paul Mutton is on /. again for his article on how 99.9% of the chatter on the top 60 irc channels is about illegal activity and I have an essay to write :(

The BBC are running a story on "gay history month" and are asking schools to take part in teaching the children about LGBT history. I've thought about it and I'm not sure I agree. I believe that children should be educated about LGBT stuff so that they don't grow up to be homophobes and I agree that violence and homophobic taunts are rife in schools, but I'm not convinced that focusing on history of a specific group like that is healthy. I believe if it's going to be included that it should be included in the course of normal history lessons as it comes up and shouldn't be something that is gone out of the way for.

Hrm. I'm not explaining myself very well. I hope I don't offend anyone. It's just that I don't feel that it is constructive to make such a huge thing about it all. Surely the best way of helping children realise it's all perfectly normal is acting* like it is rather than holding month long events to focus on it specifically.

To anyone I may have offended, I'm sorry :|

*In this sense of the word "acting" I mean "the act of doing something" not "the act of pretending something" Hope this clarifies my point there :)
