This turns him into a “monster of normativity incapable of ... seeing how much he gets off on the luxury of his antiluxurious discourse.”

Well, DUH. I've been saying the same thing for weeks! [/s]

The pointy-heads love their : marks don’t they?

A push, a flush, and a refill: Professor Smith goes to the loo.

Slower traffic keep right: A 40-year-old grad student risks using his Prius on the freeway and drives at a ‘responsible’ 55 in the left lane.

Part of the homosexual agenda is to claim great people of the past were all practitioners of sexual deviance. These sickos will stop at nothing including demanding access to kids.

College Profs Denounce Western Culture, Move to Caves

The 1988 dissertation, entitled "Beyond the (Dis)Integration of Post-Modern Post-Toasties Pair 'o Dimes and Paradigms: Look at How Clever I Am," created a stir in academic circles and landed Lowenstein a prestigious teaching position at Harvard. From there, he honed his cutting-edge research. "I began to deconstruct everything I could get my hands on," says Grok. "The Old Testament, Shakespeare, Dick and Jane, a 1967 J.C. Whitney catalog, the Boston phone book, you name it. I showed how everything is a lie, that everything could be deconstructed. Well, except Deconstruction, obviously."

There's a reasonable theory that all of Shakespeare's works were actually written by Edward de Vere, who may have been bisexual.

Go figure.

My favorite contribution to contemporary literary criticism is Frederick Crews’s “Postmodern Pooh”:

The “Did Shakespeare eat Bacon?” controversy has been going on for years.

Several actors of the time were eunuchs...

I would imagine that would work for college types also....

Whoever came up with this project had way too much time on their hands.

The first 126 of Shakespeare's sonnets are addressed to a man. When Shakespeare said: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day", he was referring to a man.

It seems to me that a pretty good case can be made from this that Shakespeare was at least bisexual.

How is it that some people who claim to put diversity and tolerance at the head of their social priorities are not satisfied unless every great author and scholar are provided a “sexual orientation” identity, as some mystic clue to their writing, while, hypocritically, the entire base of promoting “diversity and tolerance” is the “universal” nature of so many “social” themes, such as love and romance, regardless of “sexual orientation”. Their need to supply a sexual orientation identity to the authors of great works says that they do not actually believe the themes they claim to be universal are universal. Hypocrites.

Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft’ is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Yeah? Which part exactly?

There is no way that you can call Shakespeare’s writing “Fairy Tales!”

My point: Who the @#$% cares.

Since Shakespeare is the most acclaimed writer in the English language and frequently wrote about romantic topics, the solid evidence that he was at least partially gay is actually quite interesting.

Except to people who don't care about much of anything.
