Here in Cali, our great and fearless leader (choke) Gov. Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown: "California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Thursday requiring all public schools to teach about gay and lesbian contributions to history."

California schools to teach gay history | Deseret News

This is for all grades. Please tell me how teaching a six (6) year old gay biased history productive to anyone but the ones pushing it?

Condoms being offered to children in school has been going on here for years, especially in N. CA (surprise surprise). At the rate things are "progressing", condoms will be the least of parental worries.
Holy Moly, next they are going to start teaching children about Blacks and Mexican contributions in history!!

I agree brothels should be legal, not streetwalking.

They'll be adding prostitution 101 and "how to pimp for profits" in Cali schools soon.

If you're going to support an indefensible position, at least do it properly.

Sarcasm doesn't replace logic as an argument.

Oh, this should make the social conservatives really angry!

I wonder what Michelle Bachmann and her gay husband will say about this.
You just know that social conservatives will have their delicate silky panties in a big wet wad up their backside over this ... and thats always fun to watch. The indignity! The lies! The scare tactics! The endless pulling of their own hair and gnashing their teeth!

Ska-reeeeeem!

The only thing that could make this better would be to hear from Michelle's husband, Marcus "Lady Bird" Bachmann. What does she think about all this, pray tell?

This should be good!

I agree that prostitution should be legal.

However, your comparison is not really apt because prostitution is a commercial activity and thus subject to greater government scrutiny than private, consensual behavior.

For example, a person is free to never invite an African-American to dinner, but if they own a restaurant they may not refuse to serve an would-be African-American customer.

I am also free to donate a kidney to someone on dialysis, but it is illegal for me to sell one of my kidneys. And in some states the possession of small amounts of marijuana has been decriminalized, but the sale of any amount of marijuana is illegal.

Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Such delusion. I wish I could suspend reality like that.

Obama isn't going anywhere with the cast of clowns the GOP has put up for President.
