The California Congress has passed a law that would require schools not to denigrate gays and show how they have contributed to society throughout history and today. Tim Donnelly, a Republican member of the assembly, said that the bill was promoting a "homosexual agenda". The Demcratic governor Jerry Brown has not signed the bill as of yet.
I never really understand when members of the far right say that there is some kind of "homosexual agenda." Homosexuals are simply asking for a civil right that is being denied to them based on the uncontrollable sexual orientation they happen to have. They simply want equal rights and to not be discriminated against (such as in Texas it is still legal to fire someone for being gay). Their agenda is not any different than women or African Americans,who want to be treated equally regardless of irrelevant factors.
