There's also the question of credit. If AP classes are standardized nation wide and the standard is forced to follow political radicals like DeSantis then are those AP classes really worth a college credit? They certainly wouldn't be teaching anyone real history.

Well, a number of significant Black artists and thinkers of the Harlam Renaissance were gay, as well as later writers like Audre Lorde. It's pretty hard to talk about Audre Lorde without mentioning how extremely gay she was. Not mentioning these folks, or not mentioning their queerness, is to treat it like a dirty little secret.

AP courses are not part of standard school curriculum. They are elective college-level courses geared towards students who have progressed beyond the standard curriculum. No one is being forced to take an AP class. The kids that voluntarily enroll in these courses should be intelligent and mature enough to not be offended by Critical Race Theory or other such topics. Any objections to the current AP courses are due to racism and I'm glad that Illinois is taking a stand on this issue.

"In the 20s and 30s, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Lucille Bogan were collectively known as "the big three of the blues," and were all open to an extent about their queer proclivities."

(B.D. stood for "Bull Dagger" or "Bull Dyke".)
Lucille Bogan - B.D. Woman's Blues (1935)
Youtube _nmrWB1ovQ0

Coming a time, B.D. women ain't gon' need no men
Coming a time, B.D. women ain't gon' do need no men
Oh, they way treat us is a lowdown and dirty sin

B.D. women, you sure can't understand

They got a head like a sweet angel and they walk just like a natural man

B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan
B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan
They can lay their jive just like a natural man

"But a tier below them, in the underground world of gay-friendly blues clubs, was an even more brazen performer: Gladys Bentley, who dressed in a tuxedo with short-cropped hair as she sang racy songs to full houses. "From the time I can remember anything," she told Ebony later in life, "even as I was toddling, I never wanted a man to touch me... Soon I began to feel more comfortable in boys clothes than in dresses."
The Harlem blues scene not only accepted Bentley but made her an underground celebrity. She packed nightclubs and speakeasies like Harry Hansberry's Clam House, which was gay-friendly and gay-themed, if not entirely catered to gay patrons. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, a "pansy craze" had gripped the city, drawing crowds of straight and/or white onlookers who were titillated by the black queer performers on stage. At the Clam House, Bentley was often backed by a chorus line of drag queens. She later moved to California where she frequently headlined at Mona's 440 Club ("Where girls will be boys") in San Francisco, often considered the first explicit lesbian bar in America."

Bayard Rustin was one of the key organizers of the March on Washington, organized Freedom Rides, helped organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

He was an important part of the civil rights movement.  He was very influential, but kept behind the scenes because he was gay.

The reason you're drawing a blank is because this kind of stuff generally isn't taught in school - which is a good reason that  courses should include the role played by queer black Americans.

The AP course in question is African American Studies, so Black (and American) is kind of a recurring theme among the people being studied. DeSantis, in addition to being a racist GOPOS, is also a major proponent of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law.  Homophobia's part of his brand. A class like this? It's got everything he hates.

Funny story:

My wife was a department head at SIUC for five years in the 2010s; my daughter went to a tiny private "hippy" STEM school in Carbondale. One of her classmates was the son of a particular Department chair, and has problems with his verbal filters, prone to say whatever comes to mind.

We went back to help be docents for the 2017 eclipse, and the son is hanging out with us; we get him behind the scenes with us. Eclipse time rolls around; I'm on the roof of the football stadium, the kid is there, and Rauner and his wife show up. I spend about ten minutes showing Mrs. Rauner the eclipse with a sun funnel, while the young man is chatting up Rauner (who's impressed with the kid's knowledge). Rauner and wife turn to walk away, and as they're leaving, the kid calls out, "By the way--my parents are both professors here and they both hate your guts!"

Of course, the whole of totality was blotted out by a single large cloud that parked over the Sun and didn't move. A mile away across campus, they saw the whole thing.

And if anyone chooses to feel sorry for Rauner: his very first act as Governor was to end state funding for the care of autistic children.

Asshole.
