This bill is not at all about including history of the gay civil rights movement. That is history that would normally be included in a history course. What this bill requires is drawing attention to the sexuality of people who have made contributions in California and US history. That is why the LA Times editorialized against it. See "Gays in textbooks: Best told by historians, not by politicians" April 8, 2011.
