A San Francisco high school may be the first in the country to offer an LGBT studies course.
The course will cover terminology, and the broad history of LGBT issues.
Well look at what its been like for gay men, what its been like for lesbian women, what its been like for transgender people, Ruth Asawa High School Social Studies teacher Lyndsey Schlax said.
Schlax has been working with human rights activist Cleve Jones, who was mentored by San Franciscos Harvey Milk. The curriculum stretches back to ancient times.
Twenty eight percent of our students identify as LGBTQ, Schlax said.
The class begins this fall.
