This class has been around forever…at least 6 years ago when I was there. And it doesn't teach you "how to be gay" it involves the study of gay culture. People threw a bitch fit when it was first offered…idiots.

That university must be hard pressed for cash!

Please stop using Wentworths picture as a billboard for anything gay. I enjoy watching Prison Break and don't need his image marred by 'butt sex'.

Luis says – reply to this

This so cool, Perez. Not tacky! Black, Chicanos have their own depts elsewhere. Onle lil class is not enough but very welcomed. This is academia not BS. Be proactively gay, Perez. Don't be homophobic.

I COULD TEACH THAT!!!
sowhat says – reply to this

although it sounds strange from the title, the course description actually makes sense, the issues gay males face within group and between group are important and worthy of being explored in a classroom setting. many, heterosexual and homosexual, could benefit from such a class.
E Nazty says – reply to this

31

Stupidest thing I have ever heard of. They should be ashamed of themselves. I think its as offensive as teaching a class how to be black.

Then That Shows You Are Not Born Gay…It's A Choice!

Philip H says – reply to this

35

Sounds interesting although it is a little insane. I like the way the class approaches the subject.
lame says – reply to this

36

perez, there was no need to use wentworth millers face for this. and im not obessed with him or anything, its just dumb for you to do so.
seriously.... says – reply to this

37

the class isn't teaching people how to be gay, but exploring the issues within the gay community and outside of it. all people, homosexual and heterosexual alike could benefit from such an experience.

some of you people sound so damn ignorant.

I didnt know what to say at first glance.

The title of the course itself, is quite deceiving to its purpose. If the title were GAY STUDIES, it wouldn't have thrown me off. However, after reading the description, its quite intriguing what the course and instructor is trying to accomplish, a broadening of the different pluralities of being gay, not necessarily saying only one type of gay guy exists, but exploring the different mix and matches of such details that make each individual. However the wording and assumptions created in the description, may somewhat be a back step in psychological development or understanding of the sex/gender/identity, the explorations the class is taking is a step forward in acknowledging the existence of homosexuality especially in an institution of philosophy, aka the university.

just to make it clear wentworth miller SOOOO is NOT gay at all! not that i have anything against the gays i say…more power to ya! but wenty is not
lauren says – reply to this

44

I have friends who took this class last semester. It's informative and they loved it. It's not necessarily saying that it's a choice but gay men lack the role models that heterosexuals have in the media and can get English credit for finding themselves which is pretty good for a college class.
WVU OWNS YOU says – reply to this

45

HAHAHA this would make perfect sense… Me, being a WVU STUDENT, knew all along Michigan cant do ANYTHING right… and everyone knows their whole student/faculty population ( or at least 90% of it ) is gay so its only natural they would have to bring in someone to show them how do to it right… kind of like they did with our basketball AND football coaches!! Try to teach them all you want they still wont get it right!!!!
Julia says – reply to this

46

i'm deffenitly not against gays but do they really need a college course to teach you to be gay?! it's like having a course to becoming straight. it doesn't make sense! but wow.. that's pretty funny. hahahaha

After reading the description, it sounds like an intelligent course of discussion. Coming out of the University of Michigan, who woulda thunk it? God bless 'em.

Hah. That's hilarious.
But I guess…
I mean, some men&women go to parenting classes right?

You can never learn too much.

renn says – reply to this

63

omg. Really, this is for credit? This is what our federal tax dollars go towards? So, people can "learn how to become gay", yet even college graduates cannot spell nor can they find Belgium on a world map.

This is liberalism, folks. Forget about real learning. . . just learn to become gay. Spelling and math are overrated?

I live in Ann Arbor and I know a lot of people who take this class. It is taught by a very prominent professor who is openly gay. I think it is great!

And Wentworth has WHAT to do with that fucking gay ass class?
Penis for brains says – reply to this

73

I'd hate to see everyone CRAMMING for this class! (rimshot!)
I can see the chapters ofthe text book now! 1) How to decorate, 2) How to act extra faggy atthe gay bar, 3) How to collect fag hag girl friends, 4) How to dress for Sucess (wink, wink), 5) How to pick out that perfect pair of assless chaps and glitter spandex halter top for next years gay pride parade. (triple rimshot)
A.L. says – reply to this

Re: Julia –
If you'd taken the class, as I did last semester, you'd realize that a course on "How to be Straight" isn't so ridiculous a concept.

Do they have one on the culture of female ejaculation?? Why isn't there one on how to be a lesbian…That's kind of sexist isn't it?? What about the art of masterbation while doing your taxes….

Buckeye Fan says – reply to this

85

Another reason to dislike MI, and root for the Buckeyes.
Why do you have to take a class to learn how to be gay…something that is
supposed to be "how you were born." Are there classes on how to be hetero?
Weird. I am confused.
Kjoe says – reply to this

YOu dont have to pay to learn how to be gay, just watch "To Wong foo"

OMG perez i have always been addicted to your website and now i am even moreso! you should come visit the class…i took it last semester! the prof is AMAZING, you would so totally love him. i learned more in this class than i have in any other class on UofM's campus. as a straight girl, the entire culture of being gay made so much more sense after studying the topic. haha also perez, your site made much more sense since i finally learned what "camp" is and why you love liza minelli so much. and it doesn't so much teach you HOW to be gay, it moreso explains WHY gay men gravitate toward cultural objects that aren't inherently gay…

everyone talking shit about this, open your mind and wake up to the 21st century! yay GO WOLVERINES!

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
