GayandRight

My name is Fred and I am a gay conservative living in Ottawa. This blog supports limited government, the right of the State of Israel to live in peace and security, and tries to expose the threat to us all from cultural relativism, post-modernism, and radical Islam. I am also the founder of the Free Thinking Film Society in Ottawa (www.freethinkingfilms.com)

Gay studies is just as bad as women's studies....

I don't support this at all......students who major in gay studies are wasting their time...just like the women in women's studies...

At least 30 public and private colleges now offer multidiscipline minors in gay studies, the majority of them started in the last three years. Another 16 schools let undergraduates earn certificates or pursue concentrated studies in gay topics.

San Francisco State was one of the first U.S. schools to explore the scholarly potential of gay subject matter, starting with a single English course in 1972. Now students can choose from classes such as Homophobia and Coming Out, Gay Love in Literature, and Queer Art History.

At colleges around the nation, expanded course offerings have also given a discipline once limited to history, English or women's studies departments a place across the academic curriculum, encompassing subjects such as religion and the law.

John G. Younger, a University of Kansas professor who maintains a Web site devoted to gay studies, said Duke University even offered an anthropology course on "queerness in advertising."

Today (Monday) on my blog I wrote a long -- and hard-hitting -- statement about the need for Republicans and Christians to welcome gays and lesbians and to support their efforts to gain equal treatment under the law. I apologize for the behavior of a segment of the evangelical community. I also mention your blog, along with many others. Comments are always welcome.

Well Fred, for a gay male you certainly are a true homophobe!

Why the hell would you be opposed to Gay Studies? As a non-gay male, I am proud that universities and colleges are teaching gay studies...Here In BC, for example, an optional program will be offered in our high schools which will basisically teach the same things; it's called social justice!!!!!

What's so homophobic about just living a life.
Kirkegaard summarised so many of these special studies;

"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived."
