You believe that students should be told the truth in school, right?

That's what will happen starting January 1st.

With your help, GSA leaders like Benji just won a huge victory: the passage of the Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful (FAIR) Education Act. Thank you!

The FAIR Education Act takes effect on January 1st. It requires teachers in all California public schools to tell students the truth: that LGBT people are an important and positive part of U.S. history.

Including LGBT history and movements in class discussions is associated with lower rates of bullying. Less bullying means students feel safer in school.

Every day teachers and school officials are calling GSA Network. They want to know where to find instructional materials that include LGBT history.

Will you join us to help teachers tell the truth in their classrooms?

Our goal: $10,000 by October 15th.

We're more than half way to our goal. I invite you to donate today.

Your gift of any amount will bring the truth about LGBT history to students across California.

Thank you for taking action.

I wish you people would leave our innocent children alone and stop trying to push your believes on them. They have a lot more important things to do in high school than having your views pushed upon then. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Keep it to yourself. My son doesn't need to know this crap in high school. He has other things on his mind about going to a good collage and getting good grades to be an excellent member of society. I'm tired of YOU people trying to shove your...

I'm tired of YOU people trying to shove your believes on innocent kids that are not GAY and never will be. Why don't you keep it to yourselves and give our Christian children a chance to grow up not needing this nonsense in there lives. Shame on you for wanting to spill your discusting ways of lives that you have chosen. Don't

Sure, we Gay folk CHOOSE to be despised by people like you, to run the risk ((when I was young)) of being incarcerated and tortured in a mental hospital. The fatc is, we do not choose to be Gay, we are born that way. That's the way God made us. And by the way, Christians should read their Gospels and discover that Jesus never said anything, NOT ONE WORD, for or against Homosexuals or Homosexuality.

And thank you, Betsy Fitzpatrick. I am a 69 year old Lesbian, and I am so glad I lived long enough to see the "coming out" of straight people who believe Gay folk should be treated with respect and equality. I thank God, who made me as I am, for people like you.

Pamela N Sarrah Blaylock : That guy's remarks wee pure misogyny ((hatred of women)), as yours were pure homophobia ((fear and hatred of homosexuals)). Why do you think Gays are nasty?

they don't need to teach this filth in school if parents wont to teach their kids about it in the comfort of their home let them but real christian kid don't need or want to hear this crap every day , i would know , I am a 13 year old 7th grader and I cant stand homo freaks.

the best

thing we can do for our kids is to educate and communicate. we live in a "real" world.

Which actual facts do any civil minded Americans actually need to know? Let's address some basic facts, some that seem too "dark" for our ultra hot, Hollywood agenda~, because I'm frankly so tired of the self appointed "progressive" left's high standard of liberty... Please excuse the disgusting description that follows, but it is factual: gay men have to use tampons periodically because their anal muscles become weak, they call it "their periods". Whether you choose to shoot something up your vein, or live a deviant lifestyle, I am not your judge and won't stop you, but stop trying to shove your social agenda down my throat, thank you. Live in peace.

This is ridiculous, I'm so tired of the gay and lesbian community trying to promote itself under the banner of civil rights. These are two completely different topics. No one has the right to tell you how to live your life, even if you are destroying yourself. Yes~ that is sad, but true. Don't expect others to pat you on the back and tell you it is okay to do it. I don't hate anyone, but I am not going to tell anyone it is okay to do wrong because it makes them better about themselves. ...

I am standing up, I am GAY and proud of it!!!!!

What you really mean to say is that you want to teach the children your version of the truth. Not so long ago what you consider to be the truth would have been criminal and now that you have managed to elect bureaucrats to office who have no morals other than getting re elected you want public support. Who is the ultimate authority? Some dipstick who occupies the government office for a year or two or is it someone who does not change and whose word is the same today, the same yesterday and...

All authority needs to be moral and the only moral authority that exists is god.

why do people think gay marriage is ok? its totally disgusts me how people go against gods will and break his commandments. its pretty sad. ill never vote again for a democrat. all they want to do is make gay marriage ok in this country. I'm a christian and no one's going to change that. I pray every day about things god had done I my life for me. and I hate lesbians who can have sex with another lesbian. its so nasty. why would anyone do that when people don't think about how it hurts the christian people.

Rene de la Paz

Jaja :p ...... Were all human which means were all equal .... Homophobe is a disease not being gay.... Please educate yourself and learn better next time before spreading hate.... Peace and love to you... Take care

First off, i just want to say what the heck?! No one will ever be able to change my mind with my beliefs either. I'm just as committed to God as you are, but the way you're putting all this out there is absolutely disgusting. Also, you can't hate someone or something you've never loved. It's impossible. And your last sentence makes me laugh. "It hurts christian people" haha have you ever thought about murderers and how they "hurt innocent people"? please, get a brain before you start blabbing your mouth. some of us have family members who we hold close to our hearts that are l,g,b,and t. so please, stop talking.

This would be the very reason why id take my kids out of public school for a teacher to teach so called truth .teacher pose to be a leader this is not .jus another way to infect kids with filth of unnatural desires that cause lots of mental issues of identy .sex ed class gonna be confusion teaching lgtbq with it lol

Roy Wielochowski

You make no sense.

Ronald Reiman

Roy, you are wrong. Wrong in outlook and wrong in morals and that is why you say what you did. I did not allow my children to go to school and god is my judge. I am afraid that I agree with Robert and that is to take notice of a moral authority and their is only one moral authority and that is god.
