Although California recently celebrated the inaugural Harvey Milk Day in honor of the murdered gay rights activist, very few states have successfully included an LGBT-sensitive curriculum into their schools.

In fact, only a handful reference homosexuality or another non-heterosexual sexual identity in a positive light in high school health classes, according to the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States. These states are California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the District of Columbia.

There are, however, several states that are mandated to refer to same-sex orientation and homosexuality as negative. Some of those states include Utah, South Carolina, Mississippi and Arizona. Oklahoma is required to "instruct students that engaging in homosexual activity or promiscuous activity is now known to be primarily responsible for contact with the AIDS virus."

The most conservative state in this regard, Alabama, is required to reference state laws that ban sodomy, must refer to same sex activity as a public health risk and must state homosexuality is not acceptable to the general public, according to SIECUS...
