University to teach students ‘How To Be A Lesbian in 10 Days or Less’ during seminar

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.”

Just not at 8pm, Saturday night, after the early-bird lesbian special followed by a bad movie at Loews Cinema. The rest of the time it’s OK.

“lesbians say it is a conscious choice”

I think that is probably true. I overheard a cell phone call (everybody overheard it) while waiting in line for the box office to open and buy tickets.

A lesbian woman bemoaned the fact that she had “chosen” the wrong path. She said she was miserable with the way her life had turned out and she wished she had “chosen” to be a wife and mother.

It was terribly sad.

There was a big study on this in the mid 1990s that was very clear on how lesbians and males argued the point, but the media lost interest when “born gay” became the theme to push.

No decent, G-dly rabbi would have performed such a ‘conversion’.

The fact that she did it makes me sick. I’m glad she is no longer a ‘Jew’.

Do all participants get a free carpet square to munch on?

Maybe you could set up a stand outside and sell carpet remnants on a stick...or would that image be too straight?

There are studies which indicate that breast cancer risk is substantially increased by clinical abortion. Multiple abortions increase the risk further. It has to do with stem cells converting to lactating cells in the breast which are not shut down as they would be in the event of miscarriage.

I would think the emotional/relationship fallout from either the terminated pregnancy, clinical abortion, (or leading to a choice later regretted) might have the greatest effect toward choices made concerning lesbianism.

Guilt manifested as anger directed toward the guy or men in general, combined with the feeling that activity without a chance of pregnancy is more desirable, coupled with the predatory claims of understanding as no man can...

But I'm no shrink, and I could be full of crap, too.

When some folks get bucked off the horse, they get back on and learn how to ride. Some just don't, but easy sexual mores could lead to the dilemma in the first place.

Funny how that archaic Biblical morality makes for a simpler, happier, and even more prosperous life.

I’m not sure of the abortion/lesbian connection but I do know abortion and breast cancer are linked. Of course, it’s suppressed scientific information. Can’t have us girls know the truth.

Yet, it’s against the law to offer counseling to turn a person away from the fag lifestyle...go figure.
