Duke Freshmen Refuse To Read Summer Assignment Because It’s About Lesbians And Gays

I don’t remember my summer reading assignment before starting college but I WISH it had lesbians and gratuitous sex photos on the pages. I probably would have read it.

Incoming freshman at Duke University are reportedly refusing to read their summer novel, Fun Home — an LGBT, graphic novel by Alison Bechdel — due to their alleged Christian and moral beliefs.

According to the Duke Chronicle, freshman Brian Grasso posted in the Class of 2019 Facebook page that he would not read the book “because of the graphic visual depictions of sexuality.”

“I feel as if I would have to compromise my personal Christian moral beliefs to read it,” Grasso added.

Duke University officials explain that there’s a reason for the book selection and the Christian need to remove the crucifix from up their asses and learn about people from different backgrounds.

The Duke Common Experience Selection committee — comprised of various students, faculty and staff members — reportedly says the novel was chosen because of the many of the important issues it portrays, such as mental health, interpersonal relationships and human rights.

If these students are getting bent out of shape over a comic book, wait until they meet ACTUAL gay and lesbian students.

God help them.
