I'm not surprised really. Racism, sexism, many other -isms, and general divisiveness are perpetuated by a lot of so-called progressives. Like you pointed out, SteelyLoins, sexual orientation is supposed to be immaterial in the spirit of looking at the "color of one's character." The remark that "Teaching materials mostly contain negative or adverse views of us, and that's when they mention us at all" sounds like an outright fabrication. I would like to see excerpts from school textbooks that even obliquely comment on sexual orientation because I never encountered such material in public school.
