Bulletin Board

So I said in my last post that I was going to put something up in my room for LGBT history month. Here is the evidence that I have actually been working on my project. I didn't make any fanfare about it, and I tell the kids who ask about it that I will tell them what the answer is on October 18^th which is "Ally Week" sponsored by GLSEN. I got the names from Lambda. Now the only thing that makes me squeamish is that many of these names are controversial and because of the nature of the information (historical figures being outed sometimes well after their deaths) and there is, in many cases little or sketchy historical documentation about these figures sex lives. This really does not jibe with what I teach my students about citing sources. But I am going with the rationalization that the overall message outweighs the fact that I can't really check my source here.
On October 18^th I am going to tell my students what all the people on the board have in common and put a link to the Ally Week pledge on my website.
