Religious Studies brings out the very worst of the Lunatic Libs. It makes Queer Studies seem mainstream. Sadly, many young people take courses in the department (or even major in the field) because they are looking for spiritual guidance.
LOL. No kidding. I knew a gay guy who majored in Religious Studies and took a lot of Women's Studies courses. Funny, I don't recall him talking about Queer Theory too much, but trust me, the garbage from Feminist Theory was just as nauseating and I'm a wommyn.
