Leigh Hendrix as “Butchy McDyke” in “How To Be A Lesbian In 10 Days Or Less”

The recently announced closing of the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of South Carolina Upstate, effective July 1, 2014, has sparked outrage and disappointment in some quarters, particularly among those who say they viewed the Center as a place that welcomed those with alternative lifestyles.
Eric Owens of The Daily Caller may have illuminated the backstory, saying that while school officials blamed efforts to cut spending for the decision, in a statement obtained by Inside Higher Ed, Chancellor Tom Moore said the center’s closure was “particularly hard, given the importance of their programming and the unfortunate timing of this announcement.” According to Owens, Moore’s reference to “unfortunate timing” goes back to the school’s decision in March to host Butchy McDyke, an LGBT activist and performer, whose explicit goal is to teach students how to be lesbians, or at least be better lesbians. It is believed that the decision to eliminate the Center came about after the cancellation of Butchy’s recent play called “How to be a Lesbian in 10 Days or Less,” which supporters called a humorous satire, while South Carolina legislators described it “a call to recruitment.”
A write-up for the Center says that “Past events include an international film series, a book club, and multiple academic conferences on topics ranging from leadership and negotiation skills to contemporary media culture and innovative theories of gender and sexuality.” TRANSLATION: students were shown European soft porn; read 50 Shades of Gray; and sat in on a wide variety of lectures given by militant feminists with chips on their shoulders who complained about the alleged gender-pay gap and demanded free birth control. “Granted, this is a hypothetical translation,” noted Owens, “but I’m probably not that far off.”
OMG Now, where will S.C. younguns go to mortgage their future for a useless degree?
Straight, faithfully married, raising kids together - today THAT is the only "alternative lifestyle."

If sanity is ever restored to government, one of the first agenda items should be elimination of all federal aid to colleges/universities that continue to sponsor grievance 'studies' programs. If they want to marinate young minds in such anti-American leftist drivel, let them do it on their own dime.
If being a lesbian is done wrong, the consequences can be disastrous.
“students...read 50 Shades of Gray”
Reason enough to shut the place down, right there. LOL.
They have toned it way down though. 90’s feminicators read those vile Anne Rice “Sleeping Beauty” books.
