What is more fucked up is you worrying about stupid shit like this rather than getting your head out of your ass and putting in motion advise that others have given to you on this board. You really are a dumb ass.
I could give a shit less about a bunch of socialistic or fascist or commie EU countries.

French people are kind of dickish as a whole, but yeah... they made a sovereign decision to not march blindly off to war with us and for some reason we cant forgive them for it.
As for teaching gay history, I doubt its a full class. Maybe a devote a couple lessons to it or work it into the current curriculum.
I'm against big business, I dont believe in it. I shouldn't have been required to learn about stuff against my beliefs.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

Whether or not some people are against equal rights for gay people is as irrelevant as whether my parents were bigots when the curriculum was expanded (at both private and public schools) to be more inclusive of black history. Now, I'll be the first to say that some places have gone overboard, and "afrocentrism" tends to be bullshit, but the real contributions of blacks should be included in the curriculum. I disagree with some of the groupings, but I doubt anyone is going to teach that Harvey Milk should have a bust next to Thomas Jefferson.
The gay rights movement is legitimate history. You simply can't argue that issues some right wingers have described as "the most important of our time" aren't history and history in the making.
And absent the stupidity of some comments, the AIDS epidemic is also history, and probably should be included with discussions of tuberculosis, flu, yellow fever, and its treatment would also fall into major medical advances if not for the number of people affected worldwide, but because of the leaps and bounds which have occurred in immunology and anti-virals which benefit everyone.
We have no special reason to know the name of George Washington's wife or his alleged girlfriend, but both are taught in history class. That's not indoctrinating people to heterosexuality, it's details.While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words

How Ironic, all that gays have is history, their future is a dead end.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
