Gays have recently petitioned (in Ca.) to have LGBT's recognized as an, among other things, ethnic and cultural minority - you say what?

I think it’s fascinating how far they’ve come: the idea, online recently, was against bullying them, and President Carter said he thinks the US is ready for a Gay President. Cool.

The petition goes so far as to request that LGBT figures in history be recognized as such, their contribution taught and learnt in schools, and for them to be recognized as both a cuiltural and ethnic (their words) minority (their words).

Interesting. I’ll add my 2 cents after hearing from (I’m guessing) Simone and others first.
