They didn't put anything on, PSU likes the natural feel, the way GOD intended it.

After reading the bios and seeing the pictures of the featured speakers, I'm convinced they are only book experts on sexuality as opposed to having a lot of experience.

If you can confirm that Kate Beckinsale or Jessica Alba will be there, then I'll go.

Maybe they have lots of very personal experience.

I find your ignorance extremely amusing.

That's what I was going for.

I found this interesting.

Abstract: Advocacy for same-sex marriage and for queer rights more generally have often implicitly relied on a set of arguments that revolve around the seeming moral superiority of committed, monogamous, practically chaste same-sex partnerships, and which challenge the Bible’s supposed denunciation of same-sex sexuality by parsing religious texts to prove that queers, too, belong in God’s big tent. In this presentation, I will argue that both of these strategies, although potentially effective in the short-term rhetorical battle over whether queer individuals deserve civil rights, have detrimental long-term consequences for the longer-term fight over sexual freedom and autonomy. This is because efforts to argue that same-sex partnerships are “just like” heterosexual partnerships, and hence deserving of the sacrament of marriage, and arguments that queer individuals are just as spiritual and devout as heterosexuals, essentially confirm the harmful notion that these are the criteria on which sexual freedom ought to be based. This approach fundamentally marginalizes queer individuals who choose not to maintain long-term, monogamous, religiously sanctioned marriages, or who choose to reject the moral necessity of religion. Although it may be politically dangerous, in the current cultural context, to argue that single, promiscuous, polyamorous, kinky, atheist, “depraved” queers deserve their civil rights just as much as “upstanding,” monogamous, religiously devout same-sex couples, in the end the former argument is the only effective long term strategy for securing true sexual freedom.

Those are the same type of people teaching fisting to your kindergartners.

Hooray for government school sex ed!
