Make a list of a dozen people whose sexuality was important to their historical worth and I'll make a list of 10000 whose sexuality was unimportant.
Your fallacy is assuming sexuality is an outward trait that is as self-evident as race or gender.
Also we don't teach people about the Holocaust due to it's racial bigotry but due to it killing millions and leaving a massive scar across Europe. That it primarily affected Jews isn't why it's taught.
The Stonewall riots and a few gay activists have historical worth but their sexuality alone really isn't important.
