'How to be Gay' course draws fire at University of Michigan

A course called "How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation," scheduled this fall, has reignited a culture war at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

A family-values lobbyist is leading public opposition to the self-proclaimed "uncompromising political militancy" of the professor who teaches "lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender."

[FairOpinion]

Your tax dollars at work: a University Course promoting a deviant life style.

I thought 'Rump-Rangers' were born that way ... flat out didn't have a choice. Hmmmmm???

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yeah, those folks NEVER 'recruit'... riiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

[ktw]

Maybe we should start up a class that is called, "How to be Anti-Gay". Would that be ok?

[King Prout]

oh, dear lord.
just when you think it has gotten as perverse as it possibly can, academe proves you an optimist.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I think academe considers nothing to be sacred except irony.

"Maybe we should start up a class that is called, "How to be Anti-Gay". Would that be ok?"

Sure. Talk to Prof. L. Flint.

[Agnes Heep]

I believe I've lost my tolerance.

To think, I am going to be moving into my dormroom at the University of Michigan in less than 10 days. I am going to have to put up with this leftist, anti-American, and anti-Christian crap for atleast the next 4 years.

[txzman]

And liberals don't understand what is wrong with this???

Absolutely unreal.

[King Prout]

...and diversity, so long as that does not include sociopolitical ideology.

bring a wetsuit, scuba tank, and learn to swim - it gets awful deep, awful smelly, awful fast

Go Bucks !!!

[FairOpinion]

See if there are other conservatives on campus, there may be a few, and you can organize to counteract all the liberal degenerates.

There is a Young Republicans organization in Berkeley, if they can survive there, sure a similar organization can be created and survive in Michigan.

Good Luck and don't let them corrupt you. ;)

God be with you my friend. Keep your eyes on Jesus and get involved in a good Christian fellowship. Make time to read God's word and pray even when the studies and other demands grow. D.L Moody used to say "I have so much to do each day that if I didn't spend time in prayer I would never get it all done." All the best to you.

The mind boggles. They've already recruited for political activism, heck why not the 'gay lifestyle'. .... One course I wish they had:

How to be a Freeper

That would drive the Liberals nuts, dont you know.

[CIBvet]

The first thing I've done is STOP using this phoney name they've managed to get everyone to use in describing them ...

They are NOT gay or happy people ... nothing about their lifestyle is gay.

The high incidence of AIDS and STD's is certainly not gay.

Ask any cop ... the much higher incidence of domestic violence and physical abuse is not gay.

The much higher incidence of drug addiction is not gay.

The higher incidence of alcoholism is not gay.

The shorted lifespan can in no way be considered gay.

Their predatory nature is not gay. They've simply managed to get everyone to start referring to them as gay because they do hate to hear themselves accurately referred to as what they are ... HOMOSEXUALS.

I always clearly refer to them as such in public. I NEVER use the PC name they prefer, because I clearly understand, that words mean something.

How about a class called "How to Pick up Chicks?"

[thegreatbeast]

If you read Prof. Pervert's description you learn his goal isn't recruitment so much as making sure that all homos think and vote alike. "The course description says students "will examine a number of cultural artifacts and activities" including "camp, diva-worship, drag, muscle culture, taste, style and political activism." Mr. Halperin's class explores "the role that initiation plays in the formation of gay male identity."
You don't think that he's getting a squad together to FReep Hillary at book signings, do you? Political activism means a very specific thing in Halperin's deviant world.

"How about a class called "How to Pick up Chicks?"

Heterosexual men get classes on how they are overtly or inherently sexist, and how practically all sex with a girl is rape.
