[ornotna]

Scotland became the first country in the world to require the inclusion of LGBT education in school curricula earlier this month, according to the Scottish government.

“Subjects across age groups will now include LGBT identities, issues and history,” explains a press release. The government says that the new initiative is “focused on promoting equality, reducing bullying and improving the educational experiences of LGBT children and young people.”

The press release adds that schools will have access to:

a website where school staff, parents, carers, children and young people can access information to support LGBT children and young people
a basic awareness e-learning course for education staff on LGBT inclusive education
a toolkit of LGBT inclusive education teaching resources

1. I'll hold back most of deluxe PTSD sandwich

With the best equanimity I can muster congratulate such an enlightened place for the sake of future LGBTQ.
Yet I'll add the likes of Westboro Baptist, blood on their hands in the name of their bigoted Jeebus.
Owes many of us LGBTQ and families who lost loved ones more in reparations than their entire wealth.
