A Course on "How to be Gay" ?

Granted. This was a controversy started a few years ago on the campus University of Michigan where a course was offered to students on "How to Be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation" - in the ENGLISH dept:
"It does not teach students to be homosexual," Mr. Halperin says in an interview. "Rather, it examines critically the odd notion that there are right and wrong ways to be gay, that homosexuality is not just a sexual practice or desire but a set of specific tastes in music, movies, and other cultural forms — a notion which is shared by straight and gay people alike.

Also as well on the exploration on camp, diva-worship, drag, interior design, muscle culture, taste, style and political activism.

Why can't people think for themselves rather than subscribing to today's "status quo"? Absolutely surreal. Robin Williams ought to be so proud.

Here's the pro-version's.

Here's the anti-version's.
