Today in Gay History - 12/6/11: Gay Students, The AMA, Sacramento Bee on adoption & Gay Republicans
December 6

1993 - The Massachusetts State Senate approved a bill to protect lesbian and gay public school students from discrimination.

1994 - Delegates of the American Medical Association declared their opposition to medical treatments administered to "cure" homosexuals, urging non-judgmental recognition of sexual orientation.

1998 - The Sacramento Bee reported that for the past four years California Social Services director Eloise Anderson had refused an order from Gov. Pete Wilson to withdraw a directive she issued which allowed gay and lesbian couples to adopt children by saying that a stable home with good financial and emotional support is important for an adoptive child, regardless of the marital status of the parents. // The Los Angeles Times published an editorial by Robert Scheer on conservative Michael Huffington's recent decision to come out of the closet, saying it should come as no surprise that Republicans, even conservative members of the party, are gay.
