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

OP, I hope you're joking about this.

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

This is what every school should do. No one needs a special month of celebration- everyone should be appreciated for their differences and treated with respect on a daily basis.

Seems that some here could use a little remedial LGBT history and appreciation training.

Perhaps. But sorry, I am not interested in my grade schoolers discussing yours or anyone else's sex life.

How does your husband/wife feel about LGBT History Month in grade school?

Oh, whoops, sorry, I just discussed your sex life.

Not doing anything to "celebrate", thankfully.

That's fine - offensive responses are not

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

Nice GDS reference is this article -

One last treat, to top off the month — the cherry on top, as it were — was an invitation to speak to the second grade class at Georgetown Day School. Can you imagine, me in front of 50 8-year-olds? I spoke to them about American Indian heritage (in preparation for November’s American Indian Heritage month). I told some stories, read an illustrated book, and taught them how to draw the Man in the Maze, an activity they so enjoyed. The best part of the experience was how enthusiastic the students were about answering questions and about getting their drawing just right. (I noticed a rainbow flag on the wall; later, Todd Carter, the teacher/friend who had invited me, told me that they had also celebrated Pride! Talk about a liberal elementary education.)

Why on earth would anyone celebrate unnatural sex relationships that are not procreative and led to so much division in society? How "in your face" is that? You must be kidding me. Sex relationships should be discussed at home, not celebrated in schools.

You lost me at unnatural sex relationships..I do agree that schools are pushing sexual stuff too young and positioning gay relationships are completely the same as a mother and a father..no not the same..not bad per say but not the same but when you say unnatural..that is offbase by a lot.
