University of Michigan class draws fire

A University of Michigan class entitled "How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation," has become the subject of scrutiny from conservative Michigan lawmakers and interest groups including the American Family Association who deem it's content morally unacceptable and thus believe it should not be tax-payer subsidized.

The class, offered by Michigan's English Department, has been offered since 2000.

Michigan Rep. JackHoogendyk (R-Kalamazoo) has led efforts to encourage the university to drop the class and has expressed interest in auditing the class sessions to determine if the class is actually a primer in how to be a homosexual as opposed to an examination of homosexual culture.
