Well, I find it discusting... Not that it's about homosexuality however...
See, how teachers do their courses is, they choose a topic and build their course on it, they can have it on any subject so long as it's focused. They can do it on anything from Poetry to great works of art, even homosexuality.
Now, their not allowed to have it on religion or straight sexuality, however they can have it on gay sexuality which i feel shouldn't be allowed. They should be banned from discussing any type of sexuality as it's basically the same as talking about religion or race, it's basically being racist and making certain people feel outcasted instead of wanted...
I mean if i was a gay guy and I was in an english class where they were talking about male strip clubs and bible's (what a combo) i'd feel extremely uncomfortable, as the straight guys are in the gay discussion class...

But is it really fair to go into college saying yes you can talk about being gay but you cant talk about being strait or believing in god? honestly a in my eyes a teacher can talk about what ever he wants, if the students have issues with it they need to talk to the higher-ups at the college and state that it conflicts with moral or religion ethics or even protest it. but i think it's really [censored] up how you can do one thing but not the other. it's like on tv, you can say [censored] as many times as you want but you cant say [censored] even if you're refering to poop. you can even say [censored] 90% of the time with out it being cencored...

Something I don't get is how these people feel like they have to proclaim to the world that they're gay. I mean, I'm straight and I don't boycott companies who hire homos, go to stright marches, and feel the need to let every other person I come in contact with that I'm a heterosexual. Another thing, why do all of these people keep proclaiming all they want is equal rights? Because they really don't. This is why. As of right now, you, I, and every other person in the United States and the world has the option to marry a woman if you're a man, and women to marray a man. Now, what they're pushing for is to marry a member of their own sex and have exactly the same rights and everything. Now here's the thing, they have the EXACT rights to marry an opposite gender. I rest my case.

well I for one don't give a [censored] either way. I do believe it to be bias to except to use a mainstream view of any kind to bind a simple class, like for explain structure it around ginsberg. He was gay, a poet, and thus english glass starts. But yea I think about it like most hold back saying anything because questiong gay rights today is like questioning christ's crucifixion 2000 years ago. If people want equal rights, in ANYTHING, they should give equal rights in sharing a pool of knowledge. Not getting personal, and physically intwined in something so simple as a english class. Of course the curriculum is the teacher's choice. So like Sam put it, go protest it for whatever reason if you don't like it, shutting up is wrong. Not voicing your beliefs, your orientation, and your rights make it easy for anyone to bash on them.
In sort this is all I feel I'll say on this so far.
