The University of Minnesota Duluth will begin offering a minor in LGBTQ studies so that students can be better prepared for life in “an increasingly diverse society.”

To complete the minor, students will have to take classes such as “An Introduction to LGBTQ” (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer), “Queer Theory,” “Queer Media,” “Queer Cinema in International Perspective” and “History of the Homosexual Rights,” Campus Reform reported.

“This minor will prepare students for life,” Gesa Zinn, head of the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department, told Campus Reform. ” ‘The job’ the LGBTQ minor prepares students for is to understand and embrace all members of an increasingly diverse society.”

So, the university is now admitting that they have no academic standards whatsover.

Their vapidity has come out of the closet.

Isn’t the word “queer” a pejorative term, along the lines of the dreaded “N” word???

or is it like the “N” word, in that, homosexuals are allowed to use that word, but the rest of us are forbidden from such an utterance????

Prepare them to be either: poor, on welfare, or a community agitator. Maybe all 3.

Even in Sodom and Gomorrah, they never held classes to instruct the novitiates in they ways of perversion. On the job training, happenstance and maybe just flukes of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but NEVER rote academic brainwashing into its ways.

Tis a fine testament to the bleak future of this country.

I has my BA in Black Studies, and I has a strong Minor in LGBTG Studies.

When does I start?

(lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer)

Wait, wait, wait. Aren't lesbians gay? And aren't lesbians and gays (I'm assuming male homosexuals) usually considered to be queer?

Now it's all too confusing. Or is 'queer' meant to refer to people who walk down the city streets muttering to themselves and picking their noses? Some clarification is needed.

Why would anyone want to ‘study’ their warped, Godless, freaked lives?

I’d rather study paint drying than their perverted lifestyles.

Well, you can’t be President. Not due to racism or sexism, but because you’ve already served two terms!

Now that I am retired... I have been trying to prepare for a potential new career. There are so many good curriculums available for out of state students at the University of Michigan for just a few thousand dollars per quarter. Because of my interest in Ghost hunting I had settled on their major in Parapsychology but couldn't decide on a minor. Now that I can get a minor in LGBTQ studies it is all settled.

Oh sorry, I guess I will now have to go to the University of Minnesota Duluth, instead of the University of Michigan.
