I know this subject has been beat to death but I still wonder about it. Having spent my life in higher education I have seen the reactions of young students who learn the things they were never taught in grade school. A friend of mine gave a guest lecture on the works and life of Michael Angelo and the stress that developed between Himself and Leonardo DaVinci. These are two of the greatest artist that have ever lived. Anyone who has ever seen the real statue of David finds themselves waitting for him to step off the block. Does it mater that both of these men were gay. Michael Angelo was in love with a young artist named Tomas and Leonardo kept a young boy. How many people know that every angel or cherub that Leonardo painted was the face of his young lover. Is it important for young gay boys to know that Men of this stature were gay? did being gay promote their greatness or does it mater? Is it right that humanity know that the greatest amoung us are gay? I listen to what our children are being taught and whats being deleted because it is unacceptable for the Christian dogma.

If you stand for Freedom, but you wont stand for war, then you dont stand for anything worth fighting for.
