Turning Back the Clock?
While I've been in D.C., out here in California, there's been big news: A bill that would require school textbooks to teach about the "historical contributions" of gays, lesbians and the transgendered.
I've written on this ridiculous idea before. Of what relevance is a person's sexuality to his or her achievements (unless, of course, that achievement is in the area of homosexual rights)? Must everything always be about the left's victimization trinity of "racism, sexism and homophobia"?
Those on the left love to decry a more sexually modest time, when society behaved as though it had a stake in the sexual morality of young men and, especially, women. Who cared what people do privately, they asked?
How ironic that now they're actually the ones who are forcibly inserting our noses into everyone's bedroom business.

wrabkin. So willing to paint the picture with the proper colors. Yes, loose women were scorned. The men were called "philanderers" and weren't thought of highly either. High moral standards were cherished and as a result, the percentage of out of wedlock births were almost negligible. Most gays struggled quietly with their affliction, but more of them understood their feelings were abnormal. Certainly, those who did not conform with societal standards and values were dealt with in an equally unfortunate way. So let's return to the values, and simply correct the reaction to those who fall short. People like wrabkin can continue to abuse themselves in private.
