Gays are now a part of history at least according to California!

You would think in our ever progressing culture and with the fact that being homosexual is no longer considered a mental defect that the fact that LGBTQ people have been a significant part of our country's history would be a no brainer right? Well unfortunately even though we are beginning to (at least in some ways) be treated as equal citizens, the majority of states in the U.S. don't have any policy about including us in history texts or teaching about us in school. But now, thanks to California Gov. Jerry Brown, at least the children in California will know that being LGBTQ people are just as important as straight individuals and have made just as much of an impact on our culture and our world. Below is an article about this great step towards equality
