This was initially reported a couple weeks ago, but we just heard about it. And, yes, it’s a bit off the beaten path from what we usually do. From the Mirror (UK):
HOLLYWOOD star Kevin Spacey has been "outed" by a government-backed group teaching gay history in Britain’s schools.The
American Beauty Oscar winner was until yesterday on a Famous Gays and
Lesbians list in a lesson plan by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender group.
Its History Month for February is
available on LGBT’s website. The Department of Education is believed to
be contributing £20,000 to the project.
Organiser Paul Patrick last night said he was "saddened and angry" at the "mistake".
But
Spacey was included on the list – alongside figures like Dale Winton,
Graham Norton and Oscar Wilde – from a school presentation a year ago.
Mr
Patrick said: "We double check our material carefully but Mr Spacey’s
name got through. I don’t know how. It will be withdrawn. Link
