An upcoming LGBTQ seminar at the University of South Carolina Upstate (USCU) will teach students How to Be a Lesbian in 10 Days or Less and will focus on LGBTQ cultural mores.
According to the school’s website, theater artist Leigh Hendrix will perform her one-woman show, How to Be a Lesbian in 10 Days or Less, to kick off the sixth Bodies of Knowledge Symposium and Conference.
The show is a one-hour performance that follows Butchy McDyke, a motivational speaker and expert lesbian, as she “deftly guides her captive audience in an exploration of self-discovery and first love, coming out, lesbian sex, queer politics, and a really important Reba McEntire song.”
Hendrix encourages her audience to shout “I’m a big ‘ol dyke!” in a show that is “one part instructional seminar, one part personal story, and one party wacky performance art.”
The symposium is funded by outside grants as well as university funds according to Dr. Lisa Johnson, the Director of the Center for Women’s & Gender Studies at USCU.
Dr. Johnson declined to discuss what percentage of the funding was coming from the university.
“Until you call and ask how much money has been spent on heterosexual literature, I’m not going to answer that question,” Johnson told Campus Reform.
Earlier this month, the South Carolina House of Representatives voted to cut almost $70,000 in funding for two public universities, including $17,142 from USCU, over literature containing gay themes.
The symposium will also include presentations of papers from students, faculty, and community members “on topics related to LGBTQ lives and culture.”
“In a historical moment that defines ‘gay,’ ‘lesbian,’ and ‘trans’ according to highly assimilative models, we hope to document, analyze, and disrupt this too-easy cultural knowingness about what it means to be, become, advocate for, recognize, or represent any element of ‘the’ LGBTQ community (as if there is one unified community), as well as the various identities included in, compelled by, or excluded from that community,” reads a call for papers.
Suggested topics include queer places and regions, and LGBTQ uses of social media such as “the queerness of instagram, the transness of tumblr, displays of compulsory heterosexuality on Facebook,” and “the lesbigay selfie.”
Scheduled talks during the conference include “Trans, but Not Like You Think” and “The Extraordinary Lives of Bible Belt Gays.” The two panel discussions are titled “Queer Moods, Moody Queers” and “How to Be Queer.”
You must have known considerably more lesbians than I have! (LOL!)
BTW, the stuff I posted at #32 was told to me by a professional scientific source.
Most lesbians I have known admitted to a trauma such as being molested as a child or rape. I don’t think I’ve ever met one who had a healthy relationship with her father.
I do know women who told me of extreme peer pressure in college to have a girlfriend.
The gay lifestyle ain’t like it is in the movies.
Not that many, partly I’ve worked in healthcare and banking quite a bit.
“The gay lifestyle ain’t like it is in the movies.”
When I was going to night school they put us in study groups. One lady in my group turned out to be living with a woman. She converted to Judaism because she didn’t like men and thought the Torah was more accepting of gays.
She had been raped as a young woman. Her girlfriend had never been with a man but had been physically abused. Very dark spirit and hated all men. Her friend was extremely unattractive because of the hate.
Both were very overweight, very short hair, very unhappy. I spent two years studying with the one and tried to be a good representative for Christ. She ended up getting married to a man and now goes to a Christian church. She’s told me she is so much happier.
The gay lifestyle is not the lipstick lesbian on TV. Its mostly made up of overweight, unhappy and hateful people.
Tennis.
I take the stance that for SOME, there is clearly some sort of genetic malfunction at work. When you have gay males exhibiting feminine traits or lesbian females conversely with obvious masculine features and tendencies, it goes beyond simple willfulness.
Saying that, these sorts of “seminars” (or UT’s Sex Week) is really just flaunting (with taxpayer money) exhibitionist and/or narcissistic behaviors.
Public.
Obamacare unfair to lesbians. Contraception is useless. I think this is true, unless somebody is cheating.
Butchy McDyke brags that her vibrator is a Harley
I’m a lesbian in a man’s body. I didn’t need a course.
It’s a part of the state university system.
Almost as if they are demon possessed...
NO PICTURES, please!!!
Too close to dinnertime.
Could be.
No wonder it takes kids 6 years to graduate if they are taking courses like this. And - what parent would pay for this kind of crap?
I don’t get why they pick a partner who looks just like themselves???
Good point..they are traumatized to be homo.
Just as this numbskull is doing to people. Someone needs to kick is ass right out of that college.
Don’t forget—they have to own 2 or 3 big dogs!
