Calif. Senate proposes adding sexual orientation to textbooks

California children would read about homosexuals' contributions to history under a bill approved Thursday by state senators who often drew on their own childhood experiences in supporting the measure.

The bill would require California's social science textbooks to include the contributions of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people to the state and nation's history. California is the nation's largest buyer of textbooks, with annual spending topping $400 million.

Two of three gay students are verbally harassed and one of six is physically harassed, said Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California, which sponsored the legislation. "The invisibility that currently exists (in textbooks) contributes to that," he added.

Other women senators drew parallels to the lack of female or minority role models they saw in history books as children.

Sen. Bill Morrow, R-Oceanside, disputed the comparison.

"If you are a black American, you can't help it, you were born that way," he said. "There is not one scintilla of credible scientific evidence that suggests that homosexuality is biological in origin..... It is behavioral; it is not racial."

#1- Blacks can't help it, they were born that way? Ohhh, noooo...THAT'S not racist :puke:

#2- "There is not one scintilla of credible scientific evidence that suggests that homosexuality is biological in origin....."

Really? So, he's really up on his scientific research into homosexuality, is he?

Clearly not, as there have been numerous studies in the past 10-15 years that indicate that there IS a biological origin or at least biological contribution to homosexual preference. The brains of homosexuals differ from heterosexuals. THAT'S credible biological evidence, moron.

But then, that would be REAL science, not "intelligent design" "science"...so, he no doubt believes it's a trick of the "devil", or some such idiocy. :puke: (again)

One has to be very careful. I would not want a law that mandates evolution to be taught any more than I want one that mandates Creationism.
