Gah! People today!

I just read in the TES about a study done where trainee teachers were asked to comment on teaching about homosexuality in schools. One quoted person said that - we don't want to hear about their choices. As if we're all some sort of strange creature... and do we want to hear about straight people's choices? But we don't have any choice.

It's really scary to think that these are the people who are educating our children, and are teaching them that being gay isn't something we should ever talk about, and assuming that all children and everyone the children know is straight. What are we saying to children with gay family members or friends, you know - that they should be invisible and not thought about. It's sickening.

All right, done ranting now.

So, more stories, well, one more.
