On Thursday, February 25, The House of Representatives voted to pass the Equality Act, a bill that would ban discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It would also substantially expand the areas to which those discrimination protections apply. The Equality Act would enable protections within education, particularly on how teachers implement LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum.

But when it comes to education from an early age, LGBTQ curriculum is still widely underrepresented in classrooms. Only five states announced in 2019 that LGBTQ history must be taught in public schools, with California being the first. Here, it’s been required from schools to teach kids LGBTQ History since 2011, and the first K-8 textbooks should be approved to meet new state standards in six years.

On the other hand, enforcement, funding, and teacher preparation are often ambiguous. This has partly to do with the fact that even though the history of LGBTQ people is as old as history itself, the history of its curriculum is relatively short. From the creation of LGBT History Month in 1994 to the National Park Service’s first report on LGBTQ historic sites in 2016, the last decades showed a promising increase in mainstream teaching of LGBTQ history.

According to historian Eliza Byard, Executive Director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), “A lot of us grew up with history taught to reinforce the idea that only certain ways of being are natural. It is hugely important that every child understand the complexity of human history in all different dimensions in order to have a full understanding of the past, present and possible futures, and that’s what this is ultimately about.”

With LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum, there’s hope of a higher level of education from people about same-sex love and gender inclusivity. It’s a much-needed mark of progress which, if anything, came a little too late. Moreover, teaching LGBTQ history in schools will have a tremendously positive impact on the members of the LGBTQ community who will feel less unsafe for their sexual orientation.

GLSEN’s National School Climate Survey backs it up. It showed that LGBTQ students in schools with an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum—compared to their counterparts in schools without that curriculum—were “less likely to feel unsafe because of their sexual orientation (41.8% vs. 63.3%) and gender expression (34.6% vs. 47%).”

I cannot wait for the day when we say "couple' instead of "mix-race-trans-lesbian-couple" (just an example). People should have the safe space to just be without the need for explanations or categorizing. The terms "outing" and "coming out" should not even exist. Whatever happens between two consenting adult humans is no one else's business. Let people live peacefully and authentically.

My brothers longtime best friend is gay. They lived together for 5 years and does everything together. In this case it's the opposite: people are always like "sure they're 'just friends'" *wink wink goofy smile. But my my brother is a grown ass man completely secure and comfortable in his gender and sexuality (straight). He comes from a family where our dad has always openly poly-amorous, our sister openly gay, and of course, he has a gay best friend that his entire family adores. If he was gay, bi or anything else, he would just be it. But for some reason some people can't wrap their heads around a healthy, loving, and supportive male friendship. This is also really sad to me.

But the two groups have been interconnected from waaay back (if I recall my history correctly, it started as gay men + transgendered activists around the time of Stonewall).

10points

Gandalf the Pink 3 years ago (edited)

Not entirely accurate, gender norms are reinforced by and coupled with heteronormativity. When, for example, a man assaults a trans woman he is dating when he finds out she is trans, it's because he wrongly believes there is a manly aspect about the woman that would make him less straight. He assaults because he's uncomfortable both about his precieved notion about trans AND his precieved notion he must uphold his heterosexuality, with violence if needed. That's why the umbrella term is useful, because even though you and me can separate them, the oppression doesn't. It's an umbrella for a marginalized group, therefore it makes sense to define it from the margins. No trans person _wants_ to hear it would be gay for an opposite gender person to date them, but yet the problem exists. No gay person wants to hear "so who's the woman and who's the man in the relationship" yet the problem exists. Also, historically, safe spaces and communities found strength and relatability in the cooperation between the facets within the umbrella term.

Our interpretation of history really needs to get detached from our own cultural framework. It's about time different sexualities are being acknowledged! That being said, just because that framework is more progressive, doesn't make it magically the right one to explain all historical events. Maybe people were gay, maybe people were less prude in hanging out with others naked. Maybe people were trans, maybe they had to hide their gender because of time period's gender norms. Everyone loves talking about how gay the Greeks were but don't mention the enormous cultural gap between their execution of homosexuality and ours.

Nah, it's more that you want the entire world to be white, cis and hetero, so every time a single black, gay or trans person appears on screen you lose your s**t, when in fact, they are merely acknowledging that black, gay and trans people exist in the world. I believe that if you actually tallied up all of the white, hetero, gay, black, or trans characters, there would still be more white hetero cis characters than actually exist in the population at large. You literally just hate the fact that black, gay and trans people even exist.
