taught in schools. As a practical matter, this has meant rewriting social studies textbooks and curricula to “out” the likes of Sally Ride, who kept her lesbianism a secret—perhaps because that wasn’t how she wanted to be remembered. She seems to have considered being the first woman in space a little more important.
Teaching abiut major social issues in a school setting is not rewritting history it is including the historybthat is being left out. I never learn about Stonewall till i was about 19 or 20. A big movement that confronts brutality and injustice for a section of a minority community. And ibdidnt learn about the full story of the AIDS crisis (and I am still learning) that completly went out of control because government and health commitiesvjust want people, human being, to suffer and die terrible deaths because of a charastic they can't change. It was only when heterosexuals were getting it that the gov gave a damn. And even then in present times (think mike pence who let his own community be plundge into a massive outbreak) it still hard to getcare for 'the gay diease' based of peoples preference.
As for Sally, she kept up a facade of heterosexual marriage, eventually being with a womab that did overlap in her marrige time, because she knew the climite of things. She hid becausevbeing out was a death sentence. If she was alive she might have just been yeah i am married to a woman. Dosen't mean she would have been doning on the rainbow gear butbshe might have never had to put up a facde just to make it where she did.
