What (if anything) is your DC's private school doing to celebrating LGBT History Month?

Nothing hopefully.

I believe St. Patrick's did something that caused a bit of an uproar.

why shouldn't younger kids acknowledge LGBT? Some of them already know they are gay.

Hopefully nothing.

When are the Ls and tr G's finally going to jettison the trannies?

A whole month?! Liberace, Elton John and J. Edgar Hoover, there is that.

I'd like to see someone propose Confederate History Month. Imagine the uproar!

Back in college the Psych department offered a course in this area called "Deviant Behavior." While that characterization even then and certainly by today's standards is inappropriately harsh, I still have a hard time that schools present LGBT at the other extreme to young kids -- that some people prefer vanilla, others strawberry.

Instead, the school hires a lot of gay, Asian, hispanic, black, etc faculty and administrators,and weaves diverse voices throughout the curriculum.

Which school, please?

Yes, the view that people are who they are is certainly very extreme.

(I am being sarcastic.)

Why are gay pride parades held in June and not mid October?

The Stonewall riots occurred in June http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots

For obvious reasons, June is not an ideal "school" month to devote to LGBT celebration. Now that celebrating Columbus is frowned upon, October is a good month.

It's warmer, so it's more pleasant for activists to remove more of their clothing to parade around and twerk in the public streets.

Can we make October Columbus History Month?
