As you know, one of the greatest challenges that secular professors are opposing is heteronormativity. That is the belief that God created two genders. This presentation at ASU West Valley is meant to help the community understand how heteronormativity has affected a group the book authors call “perverts.” The book is titled “The Politics of Perverts,” and here is a selection from its description on the publisher’s web page:
“However, due to society’s binary view of sexuality, this research has overlooked non-traditional sexual minorities. To address this omission, The Politics of Perverts delves into the political attitudes and activities of individuals who identify with non-traditional sexual orientations and practices, such as Polyamory, BDSM, the Furry Fandom, Nudism, and the large bisexual population within these communities.”
There are no similar events supporting the “wholesome.” As in other cases, you will find only one view, the radical leftist view, given privilege at ASU. Why is that? Why not have an equal presentation about the benefits of heteronormativity? You won’t see that happen at ASU West.
Parents of potential students in the West Valley, pastors of the West Valley, donors, legislators, is this the kind of content you believe should be funded by taxes at a state university? You and your students have other options. Find a university that does not consistently insult and discriminate against your political and religious beliefs.
I'm confused by the use of "perverts." Is the book using to describe sexual minority groups in the past who were called perverts by the majority? Or is suggesting pervert is a positive label that queer advocates should embrace?
The thing that gets me is the leftist view dominates most Universities and yet they continually have events and offer courses espousing their “marginalized” victim status. I recently had to help my college age student find one halfway sane class to meet a University Diversity requirement. Not ASU but Midwest public U. Out of the 100 classes on the list we found about 4 that might have value and limit a leftist agenda type bias. Point is, it seems the ideology dominates everything, like it or not.
I went down rabbit hole with one of the speakers at the event, and he advocated for acceptance of professors using “trigger warnings”. Trigger warnings as defined by ….?!?! A whole separate discussion.
