Harvard University, founded 373 years ago by Puritan zealots, endowed a chair in lesbian, gay, and transgender studies yesterday. A group of homosexual alumni, faculty, students, and administrators raised $1.5 million to establish the F.O. Matthiessen Visiting Professorship of Gender and Sexuality. (I wonder what Harvard would do if veterans raised $1.5 million to bring back ROTC.) Tom Parry, a former president of the group that raised the dough, told the Boston Globe, "What more is there to advocate for? Harvard embraces the gay community completely."

True to the aberration, the namesake of this abomination jumped out of a window and killed himself. They sure won't be calling it the F.O. Matthiessen Visiting Professorship of Stable individuals.

On a similar note, saw a blurb last night about multi-national gay couples where one of those is an illegal and how our immigration laws are tearing apart 'gay families'. In other times, I would have thought that a joke.
