How to be gay?

By Darren Weeks

Powered by audblogaudblog audio post — I heard National Public Radio's version of the following story on the radio this afternoon, as I was driving.

Here's the story:

A new class being offered at the University of Michigan is creating quite a stir. The class is English 3-17, entitled, "How To Be Gay — Male Homosexuality and Initiation."

The Professor teaching the class says it examines the gay male identity. But some at the University are criticizing the class, saying it will promote homosexual behavior.


First of all, that is exactly what the class is designed to do. It is designed to be a recruiting hub for homosexual evangelism. This, of course, is proof that homosexuals are lying when they say that they need special rights and protections under civil rights laws, because they were "born this way." If they were "born this way," as they suggest, then they wouldn't need to teach a course on "how to be gay." Nor would they need to have instructions for "initiation."

Initiation into what? If you're born into a homosexual life, then why would you need to be initiated into it? Ever heard of a course taught on the subject of How to be straight?

Secondly, I would suggest to you that any criticism, coming from official University spokespeople is nothing more than window-dressing. If they had any real objections to that perverse, ill professor, teaching his diabolical doctrines on campus, they could immediately fire him. I believe any noise coming from U of M about their distaste for the subject of the class is merely rhetoric, designed to distance the institution from its employee, thus deflecting criticism from the univeristy itself. It is also an attempt at at least partially neutralizing public opposition to the plan.

And what is that plan, you ask? To further rip apart the traditional morality that has defined American culture for over 200 years. The founding fathers of the united States of America often spoke about the importance of virtue, in relation to the preservation of individual liberty. They understood that when a people have virtue, they will take a stand and fight for a cause. They would even die for it, if necessary.

But when a people become corrupt and perverse, they will often become lethargic when it comes to taking a stand concerning other vital principles of everyday life in a free society. It is almost as if they become intoxicated by the liquor of desecration.

Edmond Burke said it best, when he asked, "What is liberty without...virtue? It is...madness, without restraint."

How much greater madness do we get on a college campus that teaches a course on how to be a homosexual? I mean, even if someone does want to be a homosexual, do they really need a course to teach them how to be that way?

The class has even prompted one state representative to draw up a bill that will allow for legislative oversight of publicly-funded universities.


I have a better idea. Why don't we just pull all of the public funding from these secular universities. It isn't the government's job to extort money from us to fund the universities. Let's allow these bubble-headed, Marxist professors to find their own funding. As a taxpayer, I shouldn't have to pay for a university that I don't use. And even more so, if they're teaching a morality that is not only foreign to mine, but blatantly contradictory, malicious and hostile.

Actually, we could let the Rockefellers support them. They have enough cash. One way or the other, if there's Marxism taught on campus, they'll find a way to sustain themselves. You can bank on that!

And you parents, who read this, you didn't know that when you send your high-school graduate to college campuses like the University of Michigan, that you are helping to support this type of trash, did you?
