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.
