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.”

They also used to call it "the love that dare not speak it's name." Now I just wish it would sit down and shut up.

Surely the university has a Center for Men's and Gender Studies. Yes?

To be "fair" of course.

Chef: That-That’s okey, eh b... look, all you need to know is, Miss Ellen is a lesbian, and that means she only likes other lesbians.
Stan Marsh: Oh.
Chef: Now move along, children, you’re holding up the line.

Kyle Broflovski: Weak, dude! She only likes other lesbians?
Stan Marsh: Hey man, if she only likes other lesbians, then all we gotta do is become lesbians too!
Kyle Broflovski: Hey, yeah!
Cartman: You guys, you know what? My grandma was Dutch-Irish, and my grandpa was lesbian, that makes me quarter lesbian!

STAN
What the hell are you doing, Cartman?

Cartman sits up.

CARTMAN
My mom said if you want to become a
lesbian you have to lick carpet.

KYLE
Really?

STAN

Stan puts the CD in a CD player.

KYLE

step one, register as a democrat

step two, find a reason, any reason, even a made up reason to hate men.

step three buy a toy to replace the men you now hate.

Yeah, it's going to take me a bit more than the 10 days as quoted in the article.

Stop taking baths, wear a large set of keys that hang out your back pocket, buy dad jeans, get a lumberjack shirt, get a buzz cut, have a major hate-on towards feminine women, target naïve young straight women, politically correct anyone who disagrees with rad fem philosophy, be obese, have a partner who looks exactly like you, have an alcohol problem, and, for some odd reason, have date night every Saturday night at Barnes and Noble. The last I don’t understand; I just know it’s true.

The males push "born that way", but lesbians say it is a conscious choice.
