A University of Michigan class that earlier prompted state lawmakers to consider a 10 percent budget penalty for the school and is taught by a homosexual professor openly endorsing the "uncompromising political militancy" of "lesbian and gay studies" is returning.
The class at the tax-funded University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is called "How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation," and is taught by David Halperin.
It surfaced in 2000, returned the following year and again a couple years later. Now university officials have confirmed it is returning, and Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, said "it was and remains an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars."
Each time it has been offered we have renewed our objections to it. The first time around the Michigan House of Representatives came with a few votes of cutting the university budget by 10 percent," he said.
He said Halperin "makes no bones about it on the other side of the world, knowingly using tax dollars to promote the militant political agenda of homosexuality."
Glenn was referring to Halperin's writings on his activities as part of his work in Australia, where he spends part of each year.
There, Halperin has written, "The fact is that lesbian and gay studies simply is the academic wing of the lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender movement no one in the field has ever (to my knowledge at least) contested this "
"Let there be no mistake about it: lesbian and gay studies, as it is currently practiced in the U.S., expresses an uncompromising political militancy," he wrote.

This stuff is not really about being gay. Queerdom has been tolerated for millenniums. It’s about gaining power and control for a self-identified group and its backers.
Voting for McCain destroys what remains of our sovreignty!
“How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation
They have to be trained?!”
Yes, they don’t reproduce.
exactly what I was going to say
they say they are born that way yet now need teaching how to be that way
it’s so sad that these homosexuals are so confused in their minds, I in a way feel sorry for these poor souls, well a little as they think they are normal.
the men are more feminine than women, the women are more masculine than men, some think they are women and vica versa. Look at how they dress, they need parades to tell each other that they are normal yet act weird, dress weird and certainly do weird unnatural things and they say they should adopt kids
they really need to check themselves into a mental place and get help
what they don’t understand is that forgert about God on this debate , if nature had wanted homosexuality normal then nature would have let them reproduce .
nature doesn’t and therefore it is not natural(notice the spelling of nature and natural)
what they do is not normal, not natural and certainly should be accpeted as the norm.
I have a man woman marriage bumper sticker on my car and a woman a northerner(I’m down in northern florida) shouts out of the window bigot etc, I pull up next to her at the lights(she thought she would have been able to name call and drive away) I tell her that she is the one who is not tolerant as she cannot accept other opinions without acting like a little baby who has had her toy taken away.
when she hears my accent(I’m english) she turns to me just before she drives away and shouts go back home annd go back to where you come from
seems the bigot was the woman who was shouting from her car, so much for the open mindedness and tolerance of the looney left.
of course when she found out that I wasn’t going to ignore her but confront here she suddenly looked very meek
“No wonder the Islamists want to kill us.”
There may be real truth in what you’re saying. I didn’t keep track of where I read it, but I read an Arab commentator on the web who said that when people in the Middle East read that Jenna Bush took showers in stalls next to men at Yale, that sosrt of thing causes them to turn against the West. They are repelled by our decadence, not our political freedom.
Sadly, it's been the case for quite a while that when the Left has lost an argument, they respond childishly or violently. Here in The People's Republic of Washington, particularly on the "Left" side between Seattle and Olympia, it's been common knowledge that you simply do not put a Republican bumper sticker on your car unless you want the car to be vandalized....same with yard signs. Some areas are worse than others, but you'll generally only see Republican bumper stickers on vehicles from out of the area.
“Look at how they dress, they need parades to tell each other that they are normal “
i think you need to combine the idea :
look at how they dress IN the parades to tell the rest of us poor, ignorant saps they are normal
lol
“How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation,”
Does the initiation part involve funny hats?
